Issue includes three-panel fold-out w/27 cards which opens to 11.5x23.5" and pictures 27 example cards w/players shown on the front/stats on back. Black and white (previously unprinted) cards include Mickey Mantle and Enos Slaughter. In 1954 and 1955 Topps did not release any regular issue Mantle cards because Bowman had signed exclusive agreements w/players including Mantle.

Baseball card sheet has .5" crease at top left corner that only affects Eddie Robinson card. Cards are o/w NM. Magazine has .5" upper left corner crease and pinch creases to spine.
