Each card has been graded by PSA. Offered is a 235-card near master of 1954 Baseball cards. With its 5.36 GPA (Set Rating: 4.84), this assembly merits "#12 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry! Contractual problems caused the early withdrawal of the Ted Williams card from production, creating one of the most sought-after rarities of the postwar era. While Topps was certainly making headway into the gum card market, Bowman was still able to exclusively sign several superstars, such as Mantle, Campanella, Reese and Feller. If a kid wanted a chance to pull a Mickey Mantle baseball card out of a pack, there was only one place to find him.
