The checklist for 1955 Topps Rails and Sails trading cards consisted of 200 gorgeous cards split between trains (#1-130) and ships (#131-200).
What’s most interesting about this set is that the two subjects have completely different card designs. The trains have a border and railroad logo while the ships are full bleed. Both subsets also have their own set of “high number” short prints so even though card #83 isn’t a high number out of 200, out of the 130 train cards it is considered as such. Short prints include cards 81-130 and 151-200 — half the set.
