1.8% EX-MT; 8.8% EX; 27.4% VG-EX; 46% VG; 22.9% GOOD; 4% FAIR or lesser. The 1954 Bowman issue is among the more underrated of that company's 1948-55 run. Featuring 224 full-color cards the set features the majority of the stars of the era though the card of Ted Williams was withdrawn from the set during the production run creating one of the hobby's great 1950s scarcities (the Williams is not included in this set). While this collection is more of a middle-grade set the cards themselves are clean and crisp with strong image quality and vibrant color. The cards certainly appear more attractive than their technical grades the primary condition issues related to corners and centering with very few creases throughout the set. A breakdown of the issue's key cards is as follows: #1 Rizzuto VG-EX; #6 Fox VG; #15 Ashburn VG; #45 Kiner VG-EX; #50 Kell VG; #57 Wilhelm VG; #58 Reese VG-EX; #62 Slaughter VG; #64 Mathews VG; #65 Mantle PSA VG-EX 4; #84 Doby VG-EX; #89 Mays PSA VG 3; #90 Campanella PSA VG-EX 4; #95 Roberts VG; #110 Schoendienst VG-EX; #132 Feller VG; #161 Berra VG; #164 Wynn VG; #170 Snider G; #177 Ford VG; #196 Lemon VG. 224 cards total.
