I'm going to offer this complete set of 1954 Bowman baseball cards here on the board before sending it to probstein to sell for me on eBay. Hope someone here can give it a nice home. This set is lower grade. I have graded each card individually, and the grades are as follows: F - 15 cards (7%), G - 31 cards (14%), VG - 56 cards (25%), VG/EX - 46 cards (20.5%), EX - 46 cards (20.5%), EX+ - 19 cards (8%), and EX+/NM - 11 cards (5%). The price is $825 plus $15 S & H with insurance. Here is a further description:
14 of the cards have a person's name and address stamped on the back, like the Mays cards shown below. The 14 cards are: 25, 27, 28, 30, 31, 52, 75, 89 (Mays), 95 (Roberts), 138 (Hodges), 140, 161 (Berra), 177 (Ford), 179.
10 of the cards have an ink mark on the back. It is not ink scribbling or writing, but is simply a mark like the two cards listed in the last scan below. The 10 cards are: 51, 60, 64 (Mathews), 99, 115, 117, 153, 178, 199, 212.
About 10% of the cards have the wax stain on the back that is typical of many cards of this year.
Stars grade as follows: 1 Rizzuto G, 6 Fox VG, 15 Ashburn EX, 45 Kiner G, 58 Reese G, 62 Slaughter VG+, 64 Mathews VG (but ink mark), 65 Mantle F, 89 Mays (but stamp on back), 90 Campanella G, 95 Roberts VG (but stamp on back), 110 Schoendienst VG/VG+, 132 Feller G, 138 Hodges (but stamp on back), 161 Berra VG/EX-EX (but stamp on back), 164 Wynn G, 170 Snider P/F, 177 Ford F/G (but with stamp on back).
Here are scans to give you an idea.
