Rails and Sails
Topps Chewing Gum - 1955

Notes:  Train cards have white front borders, while ship cards are borderless. 
Some (maybe all) of the cards were reprinted and issued with Doeskin Tissues, 
with wide white borders and the "Doeskin" name. Cards numbered 81 through 
130 and 151 through 200 appear to be short-printed, at about half the quantity 
observed for the other half of the set. Printing defects were fairly common with 
these cards, affecting value of individual copies. Thanks much to Paul Brautigam 
for the checklist, and to Chris Benjamin's published work and John Knight for 
some gap-fillers!
