1954 Bowman #64 Ed Mathews PSA 9 – A Mint Masterpiece from Bowman’s Golden Era

In 1954, Eddie Mathews was emerging as the signature young star of the Milwaukee Braves — a hitter with extraordinary power and a future that seemed limitless. Coming off a 47-homer breakout in ’53, Mathews entered the ’54 season as one of the league’s most talked-about talents, blending brute strength with natural athleticism and a presence rare for a player so young. His rise marked the beginning of a dominant run that would ultimately secure his place among the greatest third basemen in baseball history.

The 1954 Bowman #64 stands as one of the most attractive designs of the decade, featuring a lush, painted-style portrait characteristic of Bowman’s artistic touch. This PSA 9 example is an exceptional Mint-level survivor — the colors are deep and beautifully rendered, the image is clean and well-registered, and the card displays superb centering with pristine borders and edges. For a set prone to print toning and gentle wear, finding one with this level of preservation is truly uncommon.

A commanding, high-grade showcase of one of baseball’s iconic sluggers, this PSA 9 Mathews embodies both the beauty of early Bowman and the intensity of a young Hall of Famer on the rise. It’s a Mint treasure from a golden chapter in hobby history.
