The 2003-04 Topps C55 Hockey set was released in December of 2003. It derives both its namesake and design from the “C55” hockey cards that were distributed with cigarettes during the 1911-12 season. Though the true maker of the original “C55” set is unknown, it is generally believed to have been manufactured by a company called Imperial Tobacco. This set featured line-art drawings of hockey players from the early 20th century. The Topps C55 set tries to copy its predecessor as closely as possible, with its use of solid-colored backgrounds and “illustration-like” photos with a mezzotint-like pattern applied.
This set was issued in the standard 2 1/2-inch by 3 1/2-inch size, but also had a parallel set that was 1 1/2 by 2 1/2. There are one hundred fifty-five cards in the set. The first 130 cards are of veteran players, while the last 25 are short-printed rookie cards. Several different versions of the minis appear, with the different names listed on the back. Where it normally would say “Topps C55” instead it says “America”, “O’ Canada”, “Brooklyn”, “Stanley Cup” or “Bazooka”. The "America" and “O’ Canada” also have a red back version. It is alleged that the print run for the “Bazooka” version was only five copies of each card. (info from Puck Junk)
