The 1953 Topps World on Wheels set is one of the 4-5 most popular Topps sets of the early 1950's including Topps Wings and Rails and Sails. Popular with collectors, the set contains (160) cards that are relatively easy to find. In 1954 and in 1955, Topps added (10) cards to the set each year, with a final group of (10) high number cards that are extremely difficult to find. The final (10) cards can be found with either red or blue back printing.
This complete set of 180 RED cards and the matching 171-180 cards in BLUE are in very solid VGEX to NRMT condition, averaging about EX. All card fronts have been scanned as well as card backs for cards numbered 161-180 for both RED and BLUE versions. Three of the cards were previously graded by PSA and subsequently removed from their holders. They are #161 (PSA7 NM), #162 (PSA5 EX) and #164 (PSA7 NM). The flips are included with the cards in the set. This set is a turnkey set with all the variations that is among the better sets in the hobby. This set would make a fantastic addition to any hiqh quality 1950's card collection.
