1955 Topps Rails & Sails Low Number Complete Set - NO Short-Prints 2.5 - GD+

View the rest of this set.
This 1955 Topps Rails & Sails Low Number Complete Set has the 100 cards of the first print run.  The cards horizontally oriented, and each measure 2¼” by 3¾. Cards #1 to #80 are of locomotives and cards #131 to #150 feature ships.  The 1955 Topps Rails & Sails cards provide a unique look back to the transportation vessels of the first half of the 20th century.
A complete 1955 Topps Rails & Sails set consists of 200 cards, but the 100 cards from the second print run were printed in such low quantities that they can easily cost ten times as 100 cards that were not short-printed!  This Low Number set provides an affordable way for a collector to see these great cards, and possibly add the expensive 1955 Topps Rails & Sails over time.
The 1955 Topps Rails & Sails short-prints, which are NOT included in this set, range from #81 to #130 for the trains, and from cards #151 to #200 for the ships.

Purchased separately the cards in this set have a break-up value of $234.23.
