NOT being a d!ck (disclaimer: some may disagree with SOME of my posts), but in MY observation - and I'm not a "card guy" - particularly 1950's expert - the seller's feedback# and items offered / description ambiguity = a red flag. the 1954 Bowman Williams is a serious card, and why - WHY? - shouldn't the seller spend a few $$$ to offer peace (piece?) of mind to maximize the dollars on his offering?????
not bad-mouthing YOU, Nat, just offering some constructive - and well-intentioned - advice prior to bidding on these "too good to be true / good faith items...
I personally lack a 1954 Bowman Ted Williams for my complete (w/variations - mine has the Piersall) set, but...I personally wouldn't touch this one due to all of the above mentioned.
JMO, and Happy Collecting!
