Written by Monte Jennings | Jun 14, 2023 2:10:53 AM

A 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie card is the highlight of this complete set break available now through our sister company, Vintage Breaks. You could take home a card from this amazing, vintage set.

We're proud to team up with our sister company, , for this amazing 1954 Topps baseball set break!

1954 TOPPS BASEBALL COMPLETE SET BREAK

 

  • All 250 cards in the set are included
  • Hank Aaron rookie card graded SGC 2
  • Ernie Banks rookie graded SGC 5
  • Al Kaline rookie graded SGC 5
  • Jackie Robinson graded SGC 4
  • Willie Mays graded SGC 5
  • Other Hall of Famers like Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, Duke Snider, and more!

The 1954 Topps complete set having only 250 cards makes each card desirable; the set is filled with stars. Ted Williams is even in the set twice! Teddy Ballgame bookends the set at card #1 and card #250. Williams returned from his military service that season, and Topps included the Navy hero on a pair of cards. Williams was in the Naval Reserve during WWII and during the Korean Ware he flew on 39 missions! 

As there are 250 cards in the break, only 250 spots in the break will be sold - this ensures that you will take home a card from the set. The list of names is always randomized LIVE on the show as the break occurs; you have the same chance as everyone else in the break to land the cards you desire. For example, after the randomization, if your name is in spot 10, card #10 is yours - the Jackie Robinson card! Speaking of Jackie, have you seen the THREE rookie cards we purchased in the California Love Collection

Every spot you purchase will bring a vintage card from the 1954 Topps set to your personal collection. 

SGC is one of the top grading companies. The five cards you see above are the exact cards in the set break. We love the black holders that SGC uses, dubbed the "tuxedo", as the colors in the 1954 set standout in the cases. The first card you see is Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, looking to zero in on a pitch in the smaller photo on the card. The two-time NL MVP may have been looking to crush one of his 512 career home runs. Next is The Hammer, Hank Aaron, at just age 20 in the photo and on his way to being one of the greatest players in the history of baseball. Al Kaline's rookie card is next with the red background and a photo of him in the on deck circle. Mr. Tiger finished his career with 3,0007 hits. We could fill up this entire page with admiration for Jackie Robinson. The yellow background looks wonderful in the SGC holder. 1954 was the last year Jackie made an All-Star team as his historic career was winding down. One card over is Willie Mays, perhaps the best all around player in the game. The Say Hey kid is swinging the lumber in his 1954 card in the year he won the NL MVP award and the World Series.

Travel back in time when you collected this set as a kid or you heard your dad tell you stories about opening up these wax packs in search of his favorite cards. Back in 1954 when a color TV set from RCA was $1,000 (about 10,547.06 today!), I Love Lucy ruled the screen, and we were introduced to Sports Illustrated (August 16th, 1954).
