Yes, some heavy hitters, along with some pitching legends headline this vintage baseball card assembly, with Ted Williams' card #1 from 1954 a good place to start. It has some toning on the back where a little something has left a couple of small stains but otherwise displays well; we'd say VG-EX. An Al Kaline rookie card from '54 Topps is a decent VG representative, also with toning on the reverse, while Satchell Paige's classic '53 Topps card is also a VG contributor. We'll go chronologically with the other most notables, beginning with a '52 Bowman #145-Johnny Mize card. It has beauty NM characteristics but with two stains on the reverse. Rookie cards of Frank Robinson ('57 Topps)(F with multiple creases) and Roger Maris ('58 Topps)(F with paper loss on the front) have issues, with a '58 Mantle/Aaron World Series Batting Foes card in attractive EX+ condition. Sandy Koufax's '63 Topps issue is sharp (EX-MT) with just a couple of lower corner touches, while other highlights from the '60s are rookie cards of Joe Morgan (VG-EX+), Steve Carlton (G+) and Reggie Jackson (miscut and G). A 1955 Red Man Larry Doby card (VG+) has attractive original gloss and tab, while the rest of the '50s and '60s lineup features Lemon, Schoendienst, Boudreau, Rizzuto, Banks, Snider, Wilhelm, Wynn, Ford, Kaat (RC), Staub (EX-MT+) and others, with condition mostly ranging from G to VG. Lots of possibilities with these terrific blasts from the past.
