Hey Steve! I agree with you on the artwork from '54 - we had a little discussion about it in another thread. I believe Dave Hornish referenced an article that said the artwork for 1955 was done by Irwin Hasen (who was the cartoonist who drew the Dondi comic strip and did artwork for DC), and we thought that he likely did the artwork for 1954 as well. I think the bigger sized cards really lent themselves to comic strip style back artwork.

The seller that was offering a few of the back artworks from 54 had put some fairly high prices on the pieces - other than the Aaron that I picked up, I don't believe any of the others sold.

Happy collecting!

Putting the set together now. I am about 60 cards deep. I got Hank Aaron rc in a great deal. It was BVG 6.5. The rest of the cards are PSA 3-6. Trying to upgrade the 3s and I am trying to get the best centering as possible. I really like the look of the cards.

Working on the set myself, although not that hard. Really working on 1953 and 1956 more after mostly finishing my 1952 low number run. Really like the 1954's with the rookies, the two Ted Williams cards and one of my favorites--the Jackie Robinson card. I also like the O'Briens as the first multi-player card of many that Topps would issue over the years. Almost half way through with 123/250 in the set. No Mantle isn't that big of a deal because the rookies pick that up. The Aaron is a tough card to find in nice shape for a decent price just due to the popularity of the card. I really love the 1952-1956 Topps stuff. Good luck on your set!

Here is my Hank Aaron Rc. I rather have a PSA rookie but I am afraid to cross it over. Not sure is PSA will drop the grade. My whole set will be PSA but this card.

Steve, the 1954 cartoons were likely done by Irwin Hasen of Dondi fame. There is more here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ht=irwin+hasen
