Outstanding and very rare four-card uncut panel (5 x 7.5 inches) from the 1954 Bowman baseball series, including the two key cards to the set: #65 Mickey Mantle and #66 Ted Williams. This is a final production sheet with fully printed backs. The cards appearing on this sheet are #65 Mantle (HOF), 66 T. Williams (HOF), 73 Mueller, and 74 Gilliam. This extremely desirable segment has been cut down from a larger production sheet, as 1954 Bowmans were printed in 32-card production sheets. This example boasts a clean overall appearance, with perfect image clarity and vibrant colors. The panel grades Excellent. A very attractive example that would make a worthy addition to any Mickey Mantle or Ted Williams collection or serve as an ideal companion piece to any 1954 Bowman collection. Reserve $2,500.
