1954 Bowman Baseball
Cards Checklist & Values
Competition was raging between Topps and Bowman in 1953 and 1954 leading to
problems with both companies sets. Bowman caused Topps to missing 6 cards
in 1953 with Topps getting revenge by signing Ted Williams to an exclusive
contract in 1954. Bowman then had to pull Ted Williams card #66 from their
set shortly after they started printing, replacing it with Jimmy Piersall,
who also was on card #210 making the 1954 Bowman Ted Williams #6
one of 50's scarcest cards.
Perhaps distracted by it's competition with Topps, the 1954 Bowman set was
filled with errors and variations. Nearly 20% (40/224 cards) had some sort
of variation, with some having more than 2.
The St. Louis Browns recent move to Baltimore also made things interesting.
Bowman's artists had no idea what an Orioles jersey would look like -
so they just madeone up.
TOP ROOKIES: Don Larsen, Harvey Kuenn, Frank Thomas
TOP STARS: Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Duke Snider,
Roy Campanella, Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto ...
Ted Williams is not considered part of a complete set.

1963 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
1963 had it's share of well known rookies including
the most expensive 1960's rookie PETE ROSE !!!
Other TOP ROOKIES were Hall-of-Famers Tony Oliva, Willie Stargell,
and Gaylord Perry plus stars like Bill Freehan and Rusty Staub.
An interesting card is #522 Rookie Stars picturing the White Sox Gary Peters
and (3) others. The interesting part is that Gary Peters had his own Topps
card in 1962, and 1961 and even 1960 !!! Seems his career may have been in reverse.

Authentic Major League SIGNED
Game-Used LINEUP Cards (PSA)
These are the official lineup cards SIGNED BY THE MANAGER & given
to the home plate umpire before the game with the team's line-up
& batting order !!! Making them even neater, often managers made
lineup changes on these cards throughout the game.
These official lineup cards were SIGNED BY THE MANAGER and presented
to the home plate umpire before the game. They detailed the team's lineup and
batting order. Managers often made lineup changes on these cards throughout
the game, making them even more unique.
Collectors say "They are official documents of a particular game, so they are
absolutely historically relevant. The manager, he was the general in the war.
Imagine owning Eisenhower's list of who he wanted to go into battle, and then he
signed it !!! Imagine what that would be worth?"
The first dugout lineup cards were seen around 1960. Along with lineup
cards, most ended up in the trash after games, making them quite rare today.
MLB saw the light and started marketing them directly in the 2000's.
Astronomical prices have been paid for cards from special games.
$165,010 for the Red Sox dugout lineup card from Game 4 of the 2004 World Series.
$138,000 in 2007 for 1st ever All-Star Game batting order cards.
$ 40,000 for batting order cards and the pen used to fill them out from
Cal Ripken's 2,130th & 2,131st games.
