1955 Topps Baseball "The Missing Cards"

Attendees purchasing the week-long VIP pass will be treated to something very special - the 4 missing cards from 1955 Topps Baseball set. 50 years ago, Topps and Bowman were battling it out over player contracts and at the last minute, Topps had to pull 4 cards from its 1955 set. Now, Topps is filling those holes. The special 4-card set includes:

Card # 175 Stan Musial
Card # 186 Whitey Ford
Card # 203 Bob Feller
Card # 209 Herb Score

Each card will be in the original size of the 1955 set.
