Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Very attractive example of one of collecting's most classic cards, the 1952 Topps #261 Willie Mays. The card is bright and clean, both front and back, with perfect image quality, no creasing, and centering a bit toward the upper left. Small corner bends are solely responsible for the conservatively assigned grade. This is a very striking example of one of Willie Mays' most important cards, and one of 1950s bubble-gum card collecting's most famous and universally recognized classics. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
