Default 55 Hocus Focus

I had found only 5 of the 55s until someone posted scans of 8 of them on CU that he had stumbled on. Two of them were listed in SCD only by number as not yet known. I bought 6 of them from him since I already had one of them ( J Robinson) and he sold another ( Haddix) to a Cardinals collector. I was pretty pleased to be able to finish the 56 set

They are not only hard to find, but when they do pop up, they are usually in poor condition or poorly developed, or both. Even in great condition they are ugly, which is why most people who got them probably tossed them
