That 54B Ted Williams is THE card I wanted most as a kid. I got the Beckett/Eckes price guide as a bday gift in 79 or 80 and it had a page in the back with pics of some of the "rarest" cards in the hobby. Along with T206 Wagner, 52T Mantle, the Goudey Lajoie, and some names I didn't really know back then, here was Ted Williams.
I remember thinking that when I grew up and got a job I would buy one for sure.
