Dave:

As I wsa reading your review of the 1955 Topps set you mention "Beckett alleges" there are foud DP's in thei high number sheet.

Again, just as we agree to disagree on the 1967 Hi #'s --- those four numbers are far more available than other 1955 hi #'s.

I'd love to see proof either way bit as a dealer I will tell you that I always have seen and owned far more of those four 55 hi #'s than any other cards from that series. In fact, I'd wager if you found a few dealers on this board they would correlate both the 55 and 67 discussions we have had

Hi Rich:

Well I am certainly open to looking into it further: I am more confident on the 67's but can say in '53 the missing cards were actually pulled after production and I think it possible that happened in '55 as well. On the other hand there are some Quadruple prints in the low series in '55.

I think I'll put a feeler out on the 55's either here or on one of the blogs and get some more opinions. One thing I like about all this digital publishing is that updates are a breeze.

Great job! Thanks!

And would love to see your theories on the quadruple prints (you can PM me or email me) and I'd like to do my research to match yours.

We'll compare notes and see what we come up with.

This is one of the fun type of side projects I would do when I was at Beckett.

Rich:

I actually have a sheet scan from 55, although it's a little murky. Let me get my paperwork together and I'll send you something by e-mail. I hope to get it done before vacation and the Natty.
