But can we all agree it's better than the Topps Mantle that year?

(yes. there was an official 54 topps mantle, just not released in packs)

Are you referring to the SI insert or something else?

A '54 Bowman Mantle that is nicely centered, where the wood grain is not chipped is harder to find than in almost any other issue. That being said, it always seems as if the high-end cards are not in demand as much as in other sets.

I like the youthful look on this card - but personally find the '56 Topps still my favorite.
