This incredibly impressive lot features the aesthetically pleasing and ultra popular 1954 Topps baseball card set highlighted by rookie cards of Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks and Al Kaline among others.. Not only did the 1954 Topps issue feature the rookie cards of some of the greatest baseball players of all-time, it also was the 1st appearance of Ted Williams on a Topps card. Topps was so proud of this they made Ted the FIRST (#1) and LAST (#250) card in the set. The 1954 Topps issue was released in three different series, (#1-50), a tougher mid-series (#51-75), and finally (#76-250). Of note for fans of variations, first series cards were also issued in Canada with gray backs. This set remains in nice condition with cards ranging from VG to EX/MT condition. Set includes: 1 Ted Williams
