Checklist & Cards


Perfect for the team collector!
Marking the 50th anniversary of its 1954 baseball card set, Topps released this reprint edition that mirrored thier original set with some differences.
* Cards were in today's standard 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 size
* Cards were on thin glossy stock rather.
* Topps added (8) cards to the set making up for some of the superstars missed in the original, including Roberto Clemente, Harmon Killebrew pre-rookies.
* Since Upper Deck had exclusive rights to Ted Williams, the set was missing both of his cards (#1,#250).
Upper Deck issued 1954 Archives cards for Mickey Mantle and both missing Ted Williams cards as scarce inserts in their 1994 packs.
* Topps also issued a scarcer gold parallel set with gold facsimile autographs and team logos. Gold cards were inserted only 1 per pack.

A great way to experience the 1954 Topps set and it's huge rookies like Hank Aaron, Al Kaline and Ernie Banks without spending $20,000 !!!

Baseball
How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)

The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.

Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.

The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
