(LOT 144)
1960 Topps #200 Willie Mays PSA 9 MINT

This awe-inspiring PSA "Mint 9" Willie Mays 1960 Topps offering has only been bested by a meager 2 examples on the PSA "Pop" Chart! 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 hits.

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 blinding white borders, and the red and blue colored background areas are nearly flawless. A razor-sharp perimeter includes four razor sharp right-angled corners, and the surfaces provide a "pack-fresh" appeal. One of the bona-fide highlights of this premier "Mays Fan Club" Collection, this exalted PSA "Mint 9" joins only some twenty other examples as the finest of its kind!

MIN BID $3,500
