The 1955 baseball season is one of the game’s most memorable, with its memorabilia among the most widely-collected of every postwar baseball season. A monster 51 home run 127 RBI season from Willie Mays, 20-win seasons from both Don Newcombe and Robin Roberts, and a tight American League race between the Yankees and Indians that went right down to the wire were all overshadowed by one of the most dramatic World Series in history. The 1955 World Series sealed by Sandy Amoros’ game-saving catch in Game 7 remains legendary among New Yorkers and vintage collectors. The 1955 Topps baseball set is among the most desirable and valuable of all the Topps issues. Presented here is a crisp, complete set, of mixed technical grade but largely quite attractive, carefully assembled with visual appeal more
