Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

30% Ex to Ex-Mt (including a few Nr/Mt), 62% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 8% lesser (including one trimmed and a couple that measure small). 1954 Bowman baseball is one of the most outstanding values among all early 1950s sets. This is a very attractive mid-grade set (no #66 Williams) needing just a few upgrades. We have selected four cards for grading and encapsulation by PSA. Keys: #1 Rizzuto (Vg), 6 Fox (Vg/Vg-Ex), 15 Ashburn (5/95 T/B, otherwise Vg-Ex), 45 Kiner (Gd-Vg), 50 Kell (Vg), 57 Wilhelm (15/85 T/B, otherwise Vg), 58 Reese (Vg+), 62 Slaughter (Vg), 64 Mathews (measures a bit small, otherwise Vg-Ex), 65 Mantle (VG 3), 66 Piersall (Vg/Vg-Ex), 89 Mays (VG-EX+ 4.5), 90 Campanella (EX 5), 95 Roberts (Vg-Ex), 101 Larsen RC (Ex), 110 Schoendienst (Vg-Ex), 132 Feller (EX 5), 138 Hodges (Vg-Ex), 145 Martin (Vg/Vg-Ex), 161 Berra (Vg), 164 Wynn (Gd+), 170 Snider (Vg-Ex), 177 Ford (Vg+), and 196 Lemon (Vg). This is a crisp, clean, and very attractive complete set of this classic and often overlooked Bowman issue. Total: 224 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
