Product Details
The 1954 Topps Baseball set sports a 250 card checklist which was headlined by the rookie cards of several of the greatest baseball players of all time (Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, and Ernie Banks) as well as key vintage cards of Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Jackie Robinson. The cards were made taller then standard contemporary baseball cards, measuring 2 5/8 x 3 3/4 inches and featured both an action shot and a portrait of each player. One of the unique characteristics of the design is that the cards have no borders on the tops of them.
As impressive as the player checklist is there are several glaring omissions to be aware of. Bowman was able to secure the exclusive baseball card rights to Mickey Mantle, Pee Wee Reese and Roy Campanella, thereby preventing their inclusion in 1954 Topps Baseball.
The first series of the set, cards 1-50, have grey variations which originated from Canada, in addition to the standard white background of the cards that were sold in the United States. The most valuable segment of the 1954 Topps Baseball set is the second series, which is comprised of cards #51-75.
