1960 Sports Pix Premiums Willie Mays Small - Away Jersey PSA 1 PR – The SOLE PSA Graded Example!
POP 1 MAYS!!! One of the rarest of all baseball cards listed in the SCD catalog are the 1960s Sports Pix Premiums, which were first issued in 1960 in both large (8-1/2" x 10-1/2") and small (8" x 10") dimensions. Near-impossible-to-find and extremely condition-sensitive due to the thin fragile stock, this PSA 1 Small - Away Jersey rendition of Willie Mays resides as the only PSA-graded example! Distributed as blanked-backed premiums for the renowned Sports Pix Magazine, the Say Hey Kid reveals the immortal slugger showcasing his classic candid smile, downgraded due to various areas of glue (possibly tape) residue along the upper border and verso. While the current known examples include many iconic Hall of Famers from the pre-war era, including the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, and Wagner, this Willie Mays rarity certainly resides as one of the 1960s greatest stars!
