We all have those mistakes to our name unfortunately haha

The 54 Topps set is one of my favorites. I'm putting the set together in Vg to Ex condition if anyone has any commons they are looking to unload.

And SPMIDD's Robinson found a good home as it's part of the set I'm putting together (although it is probably closer to NM).

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.

Duplicate post.

Is anybody actively working on the set? Trying to find other set builders with extras to trade, I'm looking for EXMT ungraded on commons and graded on stars.

Thanks,
Mike
