The 1954 Bowman Baseball Card release consisted of 224 cards and was the first Bowman release to feature Orioles cards as the Browns had left St. Louis for this season. There are some unique issues with this set thanks to Topps. Because Ted Williams had signed an exclusive with Topps, Bowman was not allowed to include him in their sets so midway through production, his card was pulled. In his place, Bowman simply duplicated card #210, Jimmy Piersall, and now Williams is a short print and Piersall has two different numbers on his card.
There are very few rookie cards in this set and none of them became Hall of Famers.
