  • March 30, 2023

In honor of MLB opening day, we're sharing this 1955 Topps baseball complete set break with you! This is your chance to own a Roberto Clemente rookie card, a Sandy Koufax rookie, and cards of other legends like Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron. See how you could own a card from this beautiful set.

We're proud to team up with our sister company, Vintage Breaks for this amazing 1955 Topps baseball set break!

1955 TOPPS BASEBALL COMPLETE SET BREAK

New call-to-action

  • All 206 cards in the set are included 
  • Roberto Clemente rookie graded SGC 4
  • Sandy Koufax rookie graded SGC 5
  • Jackie Robinson graded PSA 5.5
  • Hank Aaron graded SGC 2
  • Ernie Banks graded SGC 4
  • Willie Mays graded SGC 1
  • Other amazing players like a Harmon Killebrew rookie, Yogi Berra, Al Kaline and more!

The 1955 Topps complete set having only 206 cards makes each card desirable; the set is filled with stars. For comparison, in 2022, a complete Topps baseball set contains 665 cards! 

Roberto Clemente was a 15-time All-Star, won two World Series championships, and collected 3,000 hits before tragically passing away in a plane crash as he helped delivery supplies to Nicaragua following an earthquake. His 1955 Topps rookie card is an iconic piece in the hobby history of a man that did as much off the field as he did on. The card you see above is the exact card in the break; Clemente with a beautiful pose and an in-action shot of as he looks to be knocking one out of the park for his Pirates.

Sandy Koufax is one of the greatest pitchers to ever stand on the mound. From 1955 to 1966, Koufax was a 7-time All-Star, won four World Series championships, 3 Cy Young awards, and a league MVP. His rookie card is next to Clemente's where you can see him on top of the dugout steps, perhaps waiting to get in for a big performance.

We could fill up this whole page with the accolades Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron have! 

As there are 206 cards in the break, only 206 spots in the break will be sold - this ensures that you will take home a card from the set. The list of names is always randomized LIVE on the show as the break occurs; you have the same chance as everyone else in the break to land the cards you desire. For example, after the randomization, if your name is in spot 47, card #47 is yours - the second-year Hank Aaron!

Every spot you purchase will bring a vintage card from the 1955 Topps set to your personal collection. 

Travel back in time when you collected this set as a kid or you heard your dad tell you stories about opening up these wax packs in search of his favorite cards. Back in 1955 when Disneyland just opened the gates (July 17th, 1955), the TV remote became available (imagine having to change the TV channel by hand again...), and you only needed $9,100 to buy a house!
