OBC World Worst Project

          I am participating in the OBC project to collect the Worlds WORST looking sets - I have selected my birth year 1955 to participate in this project.  I am seeking cards with significant creasing, surface wear, corner erosion, tack holes, dents, etc. I would like to try and have at least 90% of the card, but no beater will be turned away! My favorite beaters have rounded, fuzzy corners, surface wear and creasing. I am also accepting cards with writing and wonderful artwork hopefully embellished by some kid 65 years ago. I will ALWAYS be looking to DOWNGRADE, so if you have a card that is a Tipton 10, send him my way. No 1955 TOPPS WILL BE TURNED AWAY!

For those interested in helping me along here is a listing of the card numbers for the 1955 Topps set, an asterisk has been placed on the card numbers that have representation in this historic effort so all numbers w/o one will be gladly added to the collection.  Please note that just because I have a card (indicated by the asterisk) I will still be willing to DOWNGRADE any and all specimens I possess.  It's probably not worth the cost of the stamp to send these "treasures" my way so I will do my best to hit you back with more respectable cards for your collection.  Here's those numbers:
