The 1954 Topps Scoop set is one of the more popular 1950's Topps sets. The 156 card checklist has cards for events that happened mostly in the 19th and 20th century and includes cards for many of the popular luminaries of the day including sports figures Babe Ruth, Bob Feller, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, John L Sullivan and others. There are cards involving events with US Presidents, Explorers and other historical events. The cards are constructed almost as a page out of a newspaper and are popular with set collectors, graded card collectors and topical collectors alike.
This complete set of (156) runs the gamut in condition from VG to NRMT. The majority of cards in the set are in the VGEX to EXMT range. The Ruth card is in VGEX and clean. Other than some off-centered examples, this set has no real dogs condition-wise. There is an extra card with the set that has the original coating. Just a beautiful set and wonderful opportunity to knock this tough set off a needs list.
