This is one I've wanted for quite awhile but never found in the right grade for the right price...until now! The legendary "Cyclone" Taylor:

Sweet card
Great looking card, Blair... Can you show the back?
I've coveted the Cyclone card for a long time too...maybe someday

Blair,
I shouldn't have asked...now I want one even more  I think it was 9 years ago now, but I had my hands on one raw C55 Taylor when I was in Vancouver BC, at the "Big One", a small card show that has mostly hockey. That one looked worn but decent enough, just the price was a complete sticker shock. Seems Fred Taylor is an icon in BC, so the demand is high there. I was tempted to try a lower offer, but even 50% off would have me on Ramen noodles for weeks after leaving. Every now and then I will look for another online...None have had that "je ne sais quoi" combination of eye appeal and fair pricing. Congrats on a beauty!

Hi Brian,
I had the same experience at a couple shows - sticker shock is a good term! The Cyclone card is definitely one of the top few in C-55/-56. (Of course in C-55 nothing touches the Vezina rookie!) I'd say in about 10 years of looking (semi-seriously) this was the first offering that made me want to jump on it at the price. I wish you luck in finding one too! Cheers, Blair
