1962 Topps #300 Willie Mays PSA 8 NM-MT
BROWN-BORDERED BEAUT!!! In 1962, San Francisco Giants slugger, Willie Mays, was in the prime of his career. Leading the league in home runs for the second time with 49 round-trippers, Mays also won his sixth Gold Glove and two All-Star nods. He was by far the best centerfielder in the National League, let alone either league. Mays finished second in MVP voting behind Los Angeles' Maury Wills, who tore up the base paths with an astounding and league-leading 104 stolen bases. Mays led his Giants team to the National League pennant, only to fall short losing to the New York Yankees in seven games of the 1962 World Series. Offered is a beautiful 1962 Topps #300 Willie Mays graded 8 NM-MT by PSA. This highly desirable card reflects all aspects of PSA's grading scale for an 8 NM-MT example and shows little signs of wear, most notably, no chipping around the delicate wood-grained borders that make this issue so desirable. Well-centered with sharp edges and corners and a virtually flawless face and back make this one for the finer collections. This key to the heralded '62 Topps release has only 12 superiors making this one of the highest graded copies in the hobby. This is a fantastic high-grade example of the Say Hey Kid from 1962!
