Maybe I jumped the gun on this being a 1955 album. I saw it in the recent Legendary auction, but can now see where it might be an album to hold half of the 1948 set we call Magic Photos.

Bob-yes, it's a Magic Photo Album. PM or E-mail me when you have a chance and I can send you what I have on these sets. Topps didn't help matters with the use of both phrases on the packaging!

Of course one of the new ones has to be a Mayo Smith Phillie card...darn...I hate adding to the wantlist!

You're in good company; I had the same thought when I saw it and had to do a bit of research to prove to myself it wasn't the later album.

Mayo Smith may yet so up on the 1955 Topps stamps!

Someone at Topps had a man crush on the Phillies manager.

David,
Nope...still a long list...

Bob,
I actually have the Mayo Smith '55 stamp as a possibility listed in my notes. Never seen one though.

I don't see Mayo Smith as a possible '55 stamp Josh-you can exhale now....I actually found this thread again researching Hocus Focus, specifically the Gehrig card.

Can anyone show me a scan of the back of the Gehrig Hocus Focus card or at least tell me the number (not the subset #, the overall set # in the black circle). I have an idea on the other 22 Baseball Stars but not Larrupin' Lou.
