Graded VG 3 by PSA. Very attractive mid-grade 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 even wear at the corners, strong image quality, and excellent centering (slightly to the left). Minor surface wear is visible on Mays' image. This is a very striking and relatively affordable 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 $300. Estimate $500+.
