Description
About the Set
The 1955 Topps set has a total of 206 cards and contains three iconic rookie cards of legendary Hall of Famers: Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax and Harmon Killebrew.
This is our eighth 1955 Topps Complete Set Break and as always features a relatively short checklist loaded with hits. This set is over 30% graded, boasting a total of 67 cards slabbed by PSA, SGC, Beckett and CGC including all-graded HOF cards and 15 on-card autographs.
The Roberto Clemente RC is a stunning SGC 4.5 example, the Sandy Koufax RC is a gorgeous SGC 5. Condition-wise, this set build goes beyond our usual high standards with raw cards averaging VG+.
Card numbers and spot numbers match until Spot #175, since cards numbered 175, 186, 203, and 209 were never issued. That's why card numbers go to 210, while there are only 206 spots.
Review the full checklist with specific conditions of each card.

Participants purchase a spot or multiple, each guaranteeing them one random card from the set. For this break, each spot receives one random card from this curated complete 1955 Topps set, which includes a total of 67 unique graded cards.
After we fill, we will schedule a time to stream live and notify all participants at least 24 hours in advance. The list will be randomized and each spot will be assigned a random card from the set. A spot will hit the Roberto Clemente RC, a spot hit the Koufax RC, etc.
We utilize the Random.org randomizer, starting of by using 2 dice with a 9 roll minimum to determine the number of list shuffles. The randomizer run will be performed by a trusted video runner and streamed live in our Facebook Group and on our YouTube Channel. A video recording and randomizer results are posted immediately after results are completed.
Skunk Protection
Ten spots will win additional prizes in the Skunk Protection Draw for this break. Specifically:
- The top spot will be awarded an amazing pair of PSA Authenticated Autographs of Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays! A gorgeous pairing I believe to be from the same collection.
- Spot two will take a consolatory SGC 2.5 1955 Topps Willie Mays! While not as nice as the PSA 5 example included in the break, it's still a great example with clean registration and nice centering.
- Spot three will also take an autograph, Bob Feller's on a Beckett Authenticated Topps card from the 2005 National.
- And finally, spots 4-10 will each be awarded $50 store credit to use on anything listed on the site: singles, supplies or future breaks.
What's Skunk Protection? All spots that hit raw cards in the main break will be entered into a separate, second randomizer run that will run the day after the main break.
