1954 Bowman Baseball Had Mantle, Controversy

February 16, 2022 By Larry Pauley

You can find it right in-between “bold reaction” and “last ditch effort.” The “it” is the 1954 Bowman Baseball card set. Much has been written about the battles between the upstart company Topps and the established baseball card manufacturers at Bowman in the early 1950s. The records clearly show that the Bowman Gum Co. had a significant loss of market share in 1952 and … [Read more...] about 1954 Bowman Baseball Had Mantle, Controversy

Woof! Decades Later, Red Heart Baseball Card Set Still Barking

July 1, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Mickey Mantle 1954 Red Heart

It seems like an odd combination.  Baseball cards might be a natural to tie into the promotion of breakfast cereal, hot dogs and snack cakes.  Dog food?  Seems like you’d be barking up the wrong tree if you were the marketing guy who came up with that idea.  Thankfully, someone at John Morrell Company decided it was a solid plan and 60 years after they … [Read more...] about Woof! Decades Later, Red Heart Baseball Card Set Still Barking

Vintage Set Break of the Week: 1954 Topps

November 22, 2016 By Justin Burleson

The 1954 Topps set is best known for one thing: rookies. Featuring key rookie cards of Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Al Kaline, Topps' third major set packs a ton of punch. Although it is missing the young phenom, Mickey Mantle, it is still stacked with Cooperstown elites: two Ted Williams cards bookend the set, with greats like Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays ranking … [Read more...] about Vintage Set Break of the Week: 1954 Topps

Top 10 Ted Williams Cards Span 4 Decades

December 29, 2014 By Tom Joyce

Ted Williams 1957 Topps

Perhaps the best hitter of all-time, Ted Williams was also a United States marine who served his country in two wars and was quite the ladies’ man back in the day.  He lived a colorful, long life and left quite a legacy on and off the field.  “Best” lists are always subjective, but below are arguably the top ten Ted Williams cards from his playing career. A first ballot Hall … [Read more...] about Top 10 Ted Williams Cards Span 4 Decades

Say Hey: The Best Willie Mays Cards to Own

November 17, 2014 By Aaron Wasser

Willie Mays PSA 9 1954 Topps

Any debate about the greatest baseball players of all time will eventually lead to a kid who grew up in the segregated south, dreaming of a big league career but knowing as a youngster it might never happen. Eventually he got his chance.  Willie Mays could do it all and look great doing it. He played in three decades, was an All Star 20 times, Gold Glove winner 12 times and … [Read more...] about Say Hey: The Best Willie Mays Cards to Own

You’ve probably heard of case breaks and box breaks for newer products.  Maybe you like the concept but only collect older cards or you’ve always wanted to participate but the slots seem a little expensive.  Vintage set breaks might be the answer. Rich Klein has written about them here before but if you missed it, the idea is simple.  A vintage set is made available by a … [Read more...] about Burls Sports Vintage Set Break of the Month: 1954 Topps

1954 Topps Baseball Set Offers Ted x 2; Aaron’s Debut

July 14, 2014 By Chris Levy

Topps 1954 uncut sheet

Sixty years ago baseball was in the midst of its golden age with players such as Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays emerging as superstars, while legends like Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson continued to shine. 1954 was a season that saw the end of an unprecedented streak of Yankees World Series appearances, and saw Mays make what is widely regarded as the greatest catch in the … [Read more...] about 1954 Topps Baseball Set Offers Ted x 2; Aaron’s Debut

Ted Williams and Desperation May Have Stacked Deck in Topps’ Favor 60 Years Ago

February 24, 2014 By Rich Klein

The 1954 and 1955 Topps sets are fascinating studies in how the winners can sometimes rewrite history. Today, we all believe the rookies  who didn’t have a Bowman card were strokes of genius by Topps but the argument can be made that those cards were actually desperation moves that 60 years later worked out just fine for the then Brooklyn-based company.  In fact, the 1954 Topps … [Read more...] about Ted Williams and Desperation May Have Stacked Deck in Topps’ Favor 60 Years Ago
