Wtb 1955 topps hocus focus kid gavilan
I want to buy a 1955 Topps HOCUS FOCUS KID GAVILAN card. It's in the sports thrills section, card # 19 of 20. I prefer a card with good exposure. Can anyone help me find one? Thanks, Sam Majors

1955
I am just a baseball collector, but have found the baseball subset of the 1955 Hocus Focus set to be the hardest of all the actually issued Topps sets to complete. I have 21 of the 23. It has only been in the last few years that the baseball checklist was fully known.
I have finished the 1948 Magic Photo and 1956 Hocus Focus baseball subsets, but not sure I will be able to finish the 55 What is your experience on the boxing side ? |

Tremendously rare set. Very few examples are known. I've handled a few Moores and Marcianos but have seen only one Gavilan.
It currently resides in a PSA 2 holder. Pop 1. SGC pop is 0.

Yep. Guilty as charged.
I think it finished my master set of HF boxing. As I understand it, the smaller sized cards, the singles, were # 1-126, while the larger cards with the perforated edges were #1-96. The Gavilan (116) and Moore (121) would be only available in the small versions, while Marciano (54) would be in both versions. Here is what it would look like [sorry for the crappy scans]: Who is Gavilan knocking the snot out of on the card?
