1955 Topps was the first pack. My Mom gave my brother and I one pack each. The only card I remember from the pack was Ruben Gomez of the Giants- beautiful colors.

For such a small set, there are a few heavy hitters that make compiling 1955 Topps a tough one to complete. | ||
My first pack of cards was from this set and it is still one of my favorites. I now have the entire set except for the Harmon Killebrew card. | ||
