Presented is a near-complete set of 1954 Topps baseball consisting of 247 different cards (out of 250 in the set), missing only #10 Robinson, 94 Banks, and 128 Aaron for completion. The 1954 Topps set has always been one of the most popular sets of the 1950s.

We have selected seven cards to be professionally graded and encapsulated by SGC. Keys: #1 Williams (VG 3), 3 Irvin (Ex), 13 Martin (90/10 L/R, otherwise Vg-Ex+), 17 Rizzuto (Ex), 20 Spahn (EX/NM+ 6.5), 30 Mathews (Vg), 32 Snider (Vg-Ex+), 36 Wilhelm (Ex), 37 Ford (NM 7), 45 Ashburn (Ex), 50 Berra (Vg-Ex), 70 Doby (Pr), 90 Mays (VG/EX 4), 102 Hodges (Ex), 132 Lasorda RC (EX/NM 6), 201 Kaline RC (VG/EX+ 4.5), 239 Skowron RC (Vg-Ex+), and 250 Williams (VG 3).
