1952 Topps #261 Willie Mays Rookie BVG 5 EX
MAYS!!! Most baseball historians arguably choose Willie Mays as our National Pastime's greatest all-around player and why not? He walloped 660 round trippers, batted over .300 lifetime, stole bases, could run down virtually any fly ball and had a literal "Cannon" for a throwing arm. His legacy was solidified by his miraculous "over the shoulder" catch in the deepest confines of the Polo Grounds in game one of the 1954 World Series. No wonder collectors actively seek his most treasured cardboard artifacts with none of them more desirable than his iconic 1952 Topps issue. This BVG 5 example showcases great color and corners.
