After Topps' 1951 (and their 1950 felt backs which I skipped over) venture into football cards, they took a break until 1955. Again they were collegiate cards, not NFL cards. The set was the 1955 Topps All-Americans, based on past All-American selections and included many all time greats of the game. They were the same size as the 1955 Topps baseball cards, 3 5/8" by 2 5/8". Here is Bears great Sid Luckman with the Columbia Lions.
For the baseball format, I substituted the words "All American" with "All Star" and resized it to modern standard size of 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". Here is the 1955 AL MVP Yogi Berra with a cameo of another famous #42.
