After starting out with simple portraits, in 1954 Topps put two pictures on the front of the card – a hand-tinted 'color' close-up photo of the player's head, and the other a black-and-white full-length pose.

The 240-card set, quite large for the time, included current players, former stars, and prominent minor leaguers. Individual cards measured 2 + 3 ⁄ 8 by 2 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches (6.0 by 7.3 cm), which Goudey printed on 24-card sheets and distributed throughout the year. [20] The bulk of early National Baseball Hall of Fame inductees appear in this set.
The 1952 - 56 sets were varied in presentation, but each were the same size, 2 5/8" x 3 3/4". The '52, '53 and '54 sets were vertical, the '55 and '56 sets horizontal. In 1957, the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2" size card became standard. Also, the design changed dramatically and was now a photograph of the player and not a painting (particularly 1953).
