1954 Topps #35, Junior Gilliam ⭐ MLB Pioneer
I love the design of 1954 Topps baseball cards. This particular card, #35, is extraordinary and portrays two stunning images of the first true gentleman of baseball's golden era of the 1950's.
Gilliam started out in the Negro Leagues for the Baltimore Elite (pronounced ee-Light) before signing with the Dodgers.
He spent his entire MLB career playing and coaching with the Dodgers.
He played on 4 Dodgers World Champion teams and played on 7 pennant winners.

1954 Topps #139, Ed & Johnny O'Brien ⭐ Two For Tuesday
This is one of the most unique cards in my collection.
Have a happy 2-For-Tuesday!

1954 Topps #94, Ernie Banks RC ⭐ MLB Pioneer
Mr. Cub is the nickname bestowed on the beloved Ernie Banks.
He spent his entire 19-year MLB career with the Chicago Cubs winning two N.L. MVPs, 14 All-Star nods, and swatting his way into the 500 HR Club, finishing with 512 dingers.
Before his glory days with the Cubs, Ernie played in the Negro League with the KC Monarchs, then served 2 years in the U.S. Army, then returned to the KC Monarchs.
In 2013, Banks was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.

1954 Topps #1, Ted Williams ⭐
In 1954, Topps celebrated its first contract to produce Ted Williams baseball cards by designating him with two individual cards in the 250-card set.
This is his first Topps card -- Card #1. Topps also gave him the last spot in the set at Card #250.

1954 Topps #1 Ted Williams 🏆 1949 A.L. MVP
Jackie and Ted won the MVP Award in their respective leagues in 1949.
What a pair! 💥
