Lot # 1123: 1951 Bowman #305 Willie Mays Rookie PSA NM 7

Graded NM 7 by PSA. Outstanding high-grade example of one of card collecting's greatest classics, and Willie Mays' first and true rookie card. The 1951 Bowman of Willie Mays has been firmly established as one of the most famous and desirable of all baseball cards. In addition to being one of the two key cards of the 1951 Bowman set, Mays is also part of the scarce high-number series of the set (#253-324). This is a remarkable card. The offered example is crisp and clean, with strong corners, exceptional printing registration, and impressive centering. The reverse is crisp and clean, without even the slightest trace of the gum or wax staining that so frequently affects 1951 Bowmans. A fantastic opportunity to acquire a very attractive high-grade example of New York Giants Hall of Famer Willie Mays' rookie card.
