even the 55 with the Bowman tv border is nice.

Very interesting! I love the look of the 57 Topps but I have never heard of the “Ruth Ghost”, after looking a few up I can see it now. What’s the story on that?

Topps found out they accidentally captured a grounds keeper in the photo and had to air brush over it.
Not really a Ruth Ghost but people back in the day before they knew the story thought it was.
