Al,
Were you the winner of the lot? If you have a duplicate Jackie, I'll take it if it is for sale, regardless of condition.
Regarding the numbering: According to Lemke, the are 5 more baseball subjects in the 1955 series, and I'm assuming that there were more subjects in other subsets that year, which would give it 30 more cards than there were in the 1956 set.
Legendary had in their description that some of the cards were trimmed.. perhaps they got mixed up, and believed that the smaller 1955 cards were those that were trimmed? The Amelia Earhart (#113) is clearly smaller in the scan than the others. The Teddy Roosevelt (#58) is also smaller, though I'm not sure if that number corresponds with the 1955 set.
Babe Ruth, who is only in the 1955 set, is card #117.
Sure wish I knew that there were '55s in there, I would have kept bidding - silly on my behalf not to fully research it when I saw it come up for auction.
