What a great set, and apparently extremely popular given the number of completed sets on the registry. How could you not love a set with two Ted Williams cards as bookends? The only thing to make it better would be having a Mantle and Musial, but I guess we can't have everything.
My set is #14 with a 7.42 rating, (I started it in May) and eventually I'll probably slowly begin upgrading it to 8.00, but for now I'm just happy that its complete. If however anyone has a PSA 7 or better #182 I'd love to talk with you. That's the only card below a PSA 7 in my set (its a 6) and its only a placeholder until something better comes along.

Did it cost you more than SMR value to put that set together?
Nate - I'm into the set a couple of K above SMR, with a few scattered common card costs basis unaccounted for. This set was one of the easiest I've put together for a couple of reasons:
First, it's the smallest set I've done at 250 cards. Second, over the past couple of years the pop explosion of 7's and 8's has made it really easy to pick up 2/3'rds of the set fast in the early phase of collecting, and the last third ain't really that hard either. I don't really care about 9's so I don't compete there. Due to its smaller size this set costs a lot less to collect in the better grades - you might say I have some experience there.
These and other factors probably account for the popularity of the 1954 Topps set, givcen the sheer number of them on the registry.
