1955 Topps #194 Willie Mays PSA 8 NM-MT
PACK-FRESH SAY HEY KID!!! The Say Hey Kid would virtually replicate his '54 MVP numbers in a likewise sensational 1955 campaign, posting a stellar .319 average, knocking in 127 runs, and clouting 51 round-trippers. Topps celebrated his remarkable '54 MVP season by issuing their inaugural landscape issue in 1955, with the Willie Mays subject portraying classic portrait and batting poses. This sensational PSA 8 NM-MT '55 Topps offering has only been bested by 15 of the 3,300+ PSA encapsulated examples, retaining an abundance of its original factory-issued qualities. The classic Mays images emanate brilliant hues and fine resolution, set against a seemingly flawless light blue background and situated between four bright white borders. Near-immaculate surfaces and right-angled corners are the final exclamation points for this 68-year-old Mays memento that appears as if it has just been pulled from a 1955 Topps wax pack!
