Graded NM 7 by SGC (submitted by REA). Spectacular high-grade example of one of collecting's most classic cards, the 1952 Topps #261 Willie Mays. This is a stunning card! The corners are strong and sharp, with just the slightest hint of wear visible under magnification. The colors are bright, bold, and crisp. Centered very slightly toward the top left. Perfectly clean, both front and back, with a flawless surface. This is an outstanding high-grade 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 $5,000. Estimate $10,000+.
