1955 Topps Double Header Set

[darrend505]

I am thinking about starting this set as a long term project sometime next year and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the feasability of this goal?

Totally doable-great little set, there can be some wear issues with the hinges and centering can be a little tricky (miscuts on the back are common) but it can be assembled without too much fuss I would say.

I completely agree, and would add that it's a great set to look at when it's finished, since the backgrounds fit together.

I've been tempted to frame mine, with the cards right next to each other so as to highlight the background picture.

Thank you for the replies! Would love to see a pic of all the backs!

Throwing this together made me realize that I should rescan this set.

Here's an uncut panel, shows a bit of the scene. Someone posted the entire set here a few years ago.

I believe the main tableaux are meant to show Ebbets Field, The Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium. I have a bit on it here, with some scans:

Didn't know that about topps double header cards with the respect of the panoramic views.
