Along with the 1949 Leaf Satchel Paige, one of the truely scarce, major post-war cards, is the 1954 Bowman Ted Williams. |

One of the coolest pictures I've ever seen (where people are clothed) was a picture of Larry Fritsch holding up seven or eight '54 Bowman Williams cards that he got out of packs all at one time in the year of issue. Quite the pull. |

Those are three beauties Ted. I have always especially loved the '51 Bowman. |

I'm curious, why is Ted W's 1951 Bowman a favorite of yours ? |

I have recently become rather attracted to the 1950-52 Bowmans, myself. The colors and the great backgrounds - particularly those of my hometown ballfield, Wrigley. One of my longer-term colelcting goals will be to collect the Cubs team sets of these issues. |

No '54 Bowman Williams for me. But I do have card #66. Ted was replaced with Jimmy Piersall, who also appears on card #210. Now that IS crazy! |

Thanks Ted. I never realized that about the sequencing. As a kid in the 60's, I very briefly met Piersall's son a couple of times, as he lived in the same general area I did. Nice unassuming boy, as I remember. Never got to meet his father though. |

Bumped the right way (a pleasant surprise) from a PSA4 to this SGC60. Just wish I could get better focus off the scanner . |

Great looking card. The centering is tough on this card, a slightly more centered card would have gotten you a SGC 70. |

Thanks Peter, I'm not sure though on its best day it ever gets a 70 because of the two bottom corners......SGC5.5's are actually a very strong grade in my experience and will often look to have better corners than a PSA6 - needing in fact to be close to near mint. |

I just broke out a couple SGC 70 cards that will be on their way to PSA, and I would be surprised if they came back anything less than 6...but we'll see. |

You have a very fine looking Ted #66, it's certainly one of the nicer ones I've seen. Generally, 1954 B cards are tough to find better than Ex-Mt |

Overall, as a collection of cards, many of my '54 Bowmans have actually have made it through the years in better condition than most from the immediate surrounding years, either Topps or Bowman. I believe this is due to the fact that they just didn't get handled as much, as it's not usually listed in anyone's favorites. Personally, I happen to like the set, although it I think it's safe to say that others from the first half of the 50s are a lot more popular. Anyone else have their 54 B's come through comparitively unscathed? |

Jimmy Piersall is quite a character, at the Willow Grove Show (early '90s), I was waiting to get his autograph. |

No idea Peter. I haven't gone out of my way to look but I do see HOFers/Stars in top condition in non-ebay auctions actions, such as those that advertise on this site. |

Because of the high prices achieved or just demanded for graded examples of this card, I had been looking expressly over perhaps 18 months for a raw one. What became obvious was the relative dearth of nice unslabbed 54' Bowman Teds, and what seemed like an epidemic of trimmed examples. And obviously trimmed at that. Raw examples seemingly also suffer from serious over-grading and over-pricing by sellers looking to cash in on its celebrity, so in the end I found I could buy a really nice slabbed 4 I felt had a chance of grading a little better on review, for no more than a naked one. |

I equally fail to understand the old school collectors who just vilify grading across the board. The late 1980s and early 1990s saw a huge influx of card alteration techniques, not just limited to trimming. |

GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!!! Paul has figured out what I was trying to say! PETER as for you I still do think you get it. I never said in all my posts that grading is a passing fad. It will be here to stay in one form or another. Great pickups on your new RAW cards hope you enjoy them! Love to see your scans of them when you get them back from your grader!! Curious to see a before and after !! |

Al -- Thank you for the my new official interpreter designation. I didn't even know I that's what I did. Love your "early afternoon" of life description. I'm about 2:15pm myself. Have you gotten any AARP literature in the mail yet? Blew me away when they sent me some, the bums. Next thing you know I'll be searching out the Early Bird Specials! |
