November 17, 2022: Fall Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/17/2022
Presented is a partial set of the iconic 1954 Topps Baseball issue, an array that is in an overall condition range that is broadly Very Good to Ex-Mt, with a lineup that includes a handful of Hall of Famers and many of the great stars of the era. Missing are most of the key Hall of Famers and important Rookie cards, but for a collector who has some of the major cards already in hand, the lot represents roughly 1/3 of a complete set, with the group in a nice, consistent and uniform presentation. The partial set comes out to 35 percent Ex-Mt, 34 percent Excellent and 29 percent Very Good, with just a couple of cards below to Good. A complete listing of the 80 numbers appears at the end of this section. Breakdown of keys: No. 7 Kluszewski – Very Good, 29 Hegan – Ex-Mt, 38 Stanky – Ex-Mt, 42 Mueller – Excellent, 63 Pesky – VG-Ex, 86 Herman – Ex, 101 Woodling – Very Good, 119 Antonelli – Ex-Mt, 187 Manush – VG-Ex, 200 Jensen – Ex, 205 Sain – VG and 210 Buhl – Ex. The listing of numbers (80): No. 7, 8, 11, 18, 19, 22, 26, 27, 29, 33, 34, 38, 39, 41, 42, 47, 54, 63, 73, 74, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 88, 93, 101, 106, 108, 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 120, 122, 124, 127, 129, 131, 134, 136, 138, 141, 143, 144, 145, 149, 151, 152, 156, 169, 174, 181, 184, 187, 195, 200, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 210, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 221, 223 and 227.
