Ya know, I've always rated the '54 set lower than most of the '50s Topps sets. Something about the missing top border (I'm an engineer) and the mixture of color and black and white photos. But......it is growing on me and I think the more I see of the cards together, the more I'm coming around.
On another '54 note, one of the main cards from the set that I did not have was the Ernie Banks RC. However I was recently digging through some long, lost cards and came across a zip-lock bag of '50s Topps and Bowman cards that sometime ago had sustained water damage. In that pile was a Banks, or what was left of a Banks. Per another thread that showed a PSA 3 '56 Aaron, I'm hoping for at least a '2' on this one.
