Graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA. Out of 2,827 examples graded to date by PSA, this is one of only six GEM MINT 10s listed in the PSA population report. Exceptional ultra high-grade example of Hall of Famer Willie Mays from the 1969 Topps set. This card features an outstanding image of the Giants legend. To get even a modern card into a PSA 10 holder is an accomplishment. A 1969 Topps in a PSA 10 holder is a card-collecting miracle! This card is, not surprisingly, an extraordinary example in all respects: Bright, clean, and crisp, with virtually perfect centering, a flawless image, and four pack-fresh corners. Perfectly clean both front and back. Out of the 270,848 1969 Topps PSA has graded to date, only 2,864 have been graded GEM MINT 10. These numbers speak for themselves! Attaining a perfect grade on a key Hall of Famer such as Willie Mays is all the more extraordinary. It is hard for us to even estimate the value of this card, especially since SMR does not provide a value for 1969 Topps cards in GEM MINT condition, but we are confident that the auction process will establish the true market value of this outstanding gem. This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a miraculous GEM MINT example, which would be a tremendous addition to any 1969 Topps set or Willie Mays collection! Reserve $10,000. Estimate (open).
