Legendary wood border design. Love it or hate it, I happen to like it. What a pitcher. I would've love to have watched him pitch.

I couldn't imagine a pitcher going 12 innings today with a perfect game only to lose in the 13th. What a heart breaker that must have been. Although this may have been the first dull design for Topps, I still liked it.

One of the best 2nd basemen ever who died far too young. I like the colorful names in this set and I also like the highlights of the year on the back even though the color scheme on the always looked dirty.

Bob had a great year in '58 which is why he was likely honored with card number 100. Bob also looks like he took a few baseballs off the nose in his career. The '59 set is iconic with the bold colors and Topps' use of Christmas colors on the back.

Early is a Hall of Famer who was famous for brushing back hitters. He had some great seasons over 23 years. The full color background makes the '58 set standout in collections.

WOW, really? The presidents of the leagues on a card #100. I didn't know they did this. But then again, maybe Topps wasn't using this as an honor card yet. However, in 1956, Topps put these fellas as cards # 1 & 2. Card #1 has also been a card of honor for Topps. The '57 set was awesome for having full color images of the player and full stats on the back.

Only team card in the #100 set for Topps. All the cards in the '56 set were like the '55 set with all the fronts of the cards being in landscape, not portrait. The multi color backs had a lot more comics on them. It is a great looking set overall. Here is where I think Topps started to design two years at once.

Monte is another HOFer and one of the first to enter to break the color barrier after Jackie Robinson. The '55 set has nice photos and beautiful multicolor backs with a lot of nice information.

With all the superstars in the game in '54, I'm not sure Topps was using card #100 as such a prestigious card yet. Bob had a short career, but he did throw a no-no in 1957. These full color background fronts and multi-color back cards a really a treat. I love all of these 1950's designs.

Wow, this and other cards of this era seem so airbrushed, they look like cartoon characters. Bill had a short career with the Yankees. I'm guessing this would've been a 'common' card back then, but I'd love to have this card.
