Hit Stars
   Topps - 1957

Notes: The set  features color photos on card fronts and "Facts" on card backs. They are 
marked as subsets of "62 recording stars" and of "37 movie and T.V. stars" but you could 
note that this means that additional stars were planned but left out of the 88-card series. 
Many cards were printed with poor centering, which makes a "mint" set difficult to 
complete. American Card Catalog reference is R710-3. Scans are posted at the Vintage 
Non-Sports Cards gallery.
