Straight from one of the most loved and sought after sets in the hobby is only the 2nd card from the career of the greatest centerfielder perhaps of all time, Willie Mays! Mays was brought up to the Giants after tearing up minor league pitching the first part of the '51 season. He went on to win the NL ROY award and of course played a role in the great playoff chase between the 2 New York teams. Offered here is a true showpiece! This '52 Topps Mays is graded Nm/Mt 8 by PSA for it's deep, rich coloring, smooth surfaces and much better than average centering. The reverse is perfectly printed although it's centered just a shade to the right, and only very minor wear along the bottom edge and corners keeps this card from the stratosphere. This is one of the bluest of all blue-chip cards from the 1950's!
