NOTE: SMR individual card value for the 109 graded cards alone in this set is over $12000.
Super high grade fresh to the hobby complete set of 1954 Topps Baseball cards came to us from the original owner looking like a solid brick that hadn't been touched since it was assembled from vending 50 years ago (see photo). We immediately sent about 1/2 of the cards including all major stars to PSA for grading with expectations of many MINT 9 grades. Needless to say we were disappointed with the results and will strongly argue that most cards display better than the given technical grade. The graded cards are: Mint PSA 9 (1) - #209.
NM-MT+ PSA 8.5 (1) - #55.
NM-MT PSA 8 (42) - #6 9 11 12 17 Rizzuto(HOF) 20 Spahn(HOF)(OC) 22 29 30 Mathews(HOF) 31 42 46 47 53 54 56 60 61 66 68 73 78 89 90 Mays(HOF) 91 95 105 111 112 133 148 150 152 153 158 163 164 171 172 180 193 230 238.
NM+ PSA 7.5 (1) - #85.
NM PSA 7 (41) - #24 26 35 Gilliam 36 Wilhelm(HOF) 38 39 41 43 50 Berra(HOF) 62 65 67 77 80 Jensen 83 Banks(HOF)(MC) 100 102 Hodges 107 121 122 125 128 Aaron(HOF) 130 146 151 154 165 166 Podres 169 173 189 190 197 206 217 222 233 237 239 Skowron(HOF) 246 248.
EX-MT+ PSA 6.5 (1) - #13 Martin.

EX PSA 5 (4) - #1 T. Williams(HOF) 15 201 Kaline(HOF) 207.
VG-EX+ PSA 4.5 (1) - #18.
VG-EX PSA 4 (4) - #75 168 212 215.
PSA TRIMMED - #32 Snider(HOF).
We still see more possibilities for grading as we only sent in all key Hall of Famers and those cards we thought had a chance to be NM-MT or MINT. Many review and resubmit candidates abound.
