About the 1955 Topps All-American Football set

1955 Topps All-American looks backward instead of following a current pro roster. The 100-card checklist gathers college-football stars, coaches and foundational figures from several eras, presenting each in school colors and pairing the living memory of the sport with the look of a mid-1950s Topps issue. The cards measure 2-5/8 by 3-5/8 inches.

Ninety-five fronts are landscape. Only #17 Bob Reynolds, #37 Jim Thorpe, #50 Ken Kavanaugh, #73 Paul Governali and #74 Gene McEver are portrait cards. The horizontal design combines a color subject image with a black-and-white football scene, a school emblem and a name-and-position strip. Every back is horizontal, with a blue card-number oval, a short biography and a football quiz cartoon.

The set includes 17 Pro Football Hall of Famers, 89 College Football Hall of Fame subjects and 11 Heisman winners. The Four Horsemen card at #68 pictures Jim Crowley, Elmer Layden, Harry Stuhldreher and Don Miller. The checklist marks 22 rookie cards; #64 Benny Friedman stays outside that flag because the available row-level sources disagree.

The numbered Basic checklist is 100 cards. Two biography mix-ups create the optional 102-item Master: #14 Gaynell Tinsley appears with either his correct biography or Byron R. White's, and #21 Byron R. White appears with either his correct biography or Tinsley's. Dealer and catalog short-print claims are not used here. Four front errors remain uncorrected: "Niles" Kinnick on #6, "Don" Moomaw on #40, "McMillan" on Bo McMillin's #47, and Howard Odell pictured on Bob Odell's #91.
