1955 Topps Stamps
 

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>OK, I do not own any of these but I know of 2 or 3 board members that do. I can't help but think they are related to the Sports Illustrated inserts from '54 and '55. Topps may have been experimenting with a stamp issue (not necessarily baseball) to test the medium and may have just used a partial section of an existing sheet to make up the stamp proofs. I cannot find too many Topps stamp issues from the 50's (perhaps the X Ray Roundup Stamps are a Topps issue but that is not a conclusive fact) so these are even more of a mystery.<br /><br />If enough people have these and can post which sides of their stamp(s)are perforated, then maybe the full sheet can be reconstructed. The '07 Standard Catalog had 23 known examples and it's possible 24 is the full run. Post 'em if you got 'em!

Posted By: <b>larry</b><p>hi dave<br />since i have doubles either they had a repeating sheet or there was more than one sheet made and i believe the scd lists 24 different players<br />i have 16 and need 8 listed players<br />i have stamps that have the unperforated border on the 4 different sides<br />the one 4 stamp panel i have has perforations all around it<br />so the sheet has to be at least 4x4<br />

Posted By: <b>Josh</b><p>Anyone have a guess as to what a Hank Aaron stamp would be worth? I know one exists.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I think 2500 is way low. It should be worth the same as a 61 Dice Game or more. Years ago, I heard that a Banks exists, but it is not catalogued.

Posted By: <b>Tim</b><p>Edited for ignorance. I read up and found the answer to my question.

Resurrecting this thread-I have been sussing out the stamp arrangement from a couple of partial sheets of regular issue cards and have reason to believe 40 or 50 subjects are possible. The discussion above mentioning possible Aaron and Banks stamps would fit my observations.

Any scans would be great, even the block of Shepard, Skinner, Tremel & Valentine that has made the rounds. I'll take rumors of unchecklisted stamps too. PM details me if you want to keep your name out of it.

Aaron
 

Dave---my recollection may be faulty but I think Bob F and I both saw a scan of an Aaron stamp a few years back. If I am right, it was in poor shape and the asking price too high, but I will check with Bob to see if that is what he recalls. Maybe Larry saw it as well

Yes, a guy had an Aaron stamp.
