I have one of those 1954B's. It's an 8OC. But it is one of my favorite cards because the 1954B set was my first that I completed in the 1950's sets, and it took me about 15 years to actually complete the full set, after having completed the base 224 card set with the Piersall as #66.

Thanks Ted.

Hi Tony

Always great to hear from you. And, thanks for the kind words.

The 1954 BOWMAN Ted Williams is 3rd on my most favorite list of post-WWII cards. I have always been a fan of Ted Williams, although I've been a Yankees fan for over 70 years.

In my opinion, if Williams played for the Yankees, he would hold the record for lifetime BA (perhaps approaching .400)….and, he would probably hold the record for career HR's. I
recall Ted hitting quite a number of HR's in the uppermost deck in RF of Yankee Stadium.

Furthermore, Ted would have been appreciated more in New York than he was in Boston.

Take care,


TED Z
