Item Description
2-5/8x3.75". The 1955 Topps Baseball set consists of 206 cards. Numerically the smallest Topps issue, the 1955 presentation was originally meant to total 210 cards, but card #s 175, 186, 203, and 209 were never produced. The redesigned set marked the first use of a horizontal format for player depictions through the entire production run - a design change coincidentally adopted by rival Bowman that same year. Unchanged by Topps was the two-image design, with every player depicted in a portrait and an action illustration, and sharing space with a colorful team logo. As had been true of earlier releases, all the 1955 Topps "High Numbers," - #s 161 to 210 - prove more challenging as they were forced to compete with the fall issuance of football cards.

Harmon Clayton Killebrew Jr., nicknamed "The Killer" and "Hammerin' Harmon", was an American professional baseball first baseman, third baseman, and left fielder. He was a prolific power hitter who spent most of his 22-year career in Major League Baseball with the Minnesota Twins. At the time of his retirement, Killebrew had the fifth most home runs in major league history. He was second only to Babe Ruth in American League (AL) Home Runs, and was the AL career leader in home runs by a right-handed batter. Killebrew was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1984.
