The cards from 1956 Topps will give you the majority of the 55 Dodgers. Using 1954, will give you players that were not with the 55 Dodgers in the World Series. For example, Tommy Lasorda was a pitcher and has a 1954 Topps card; he was sent down to the minors in 1955 and a pitcher by the name of Sandy Koufax was added to the roster. God bless Johnny Podres and Clem Labine.
