The design of the 1954 Topps baseball card set is one of the cleanest and most straightforward ever produced. In fact, Sy Berger, the co-designer of the inaugural 1952 Topps set, called it his favorite baseball set the company ever produced. A color photo of the player dominated the card with a small action shot in black and white. The larger picture was usually a mug shot, but the look varied from card to card with the portrait sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, or even sometimes in the center. The black and white action picture, while much smaller, always overlapped the foreground picture, so the full figured batting stance, swing, or pitching motion was never lost. Offered is a complete set of 250 cards all graded and encapsulated by PSA with a ranking of #11 on the PSA Set Registry and an overall GPA at a robust 7.974.
