1960 Topps #200 Willie Mays PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
HIGH GRADE WILLIE!!! This magnificent PSA 8.5 Willie Mays 1960 Topps offering stands as one of only a few examples at this elevated plateau. Turning back the clock to 1956, Topps once again decided to utilize two images for their 1960 cards, with the ultra-popular multi-pose concept also applied to their 1954 thru 1956 issues. Willie Mays would continue has onslaught of exploiting over-matched hurlers by posting 29 home runs, 103 R.B.I.'s and a scintillating .319 batting average via his 190 safeties.
A fan favorite, this 1960 gem includes a classic black & white batting image as well as the richly hued and imposing portrait image. The entire crystal clear illustration is centered virtually "dead-on" 50/50 between four snow white borders, and the red and blue colored background areas are nearly flawless. Own this beauty!!!
