Graded NM 7 (MC) by PSA. Sharp example of one of card collecting's classics and Willie Mays' true rookie card. The 1951 Bowman of Willie Mays is one of the most famous and desirable of all baseball cards. In addition to being one of the two key cards of the 1951 Bowman set, Mays is part of the scarce high-number series of the set (#253-324). The card has beautiful colors, outstanding registration, strong corners, and centering toward the extreme left (hence the qualifier). The reverse is crisp and clean. A fantastic opportunity to acquire a very attractive example of New York Giants Hall of Famer Willie Mays' rookie card. Opening Bid $10.
