Willie Mays continued his dominance of National League pitching during the 1961 season, walloping 40 homers and plating over 120 runners. It was a typical Mays year, one which saw him high up in the MVP voting again. As usual, Mays was early on in the Topps baseball card set, giving way to lots of potential wear from enthusiastic youngsters wanting his pasteboard. This 1961 Topps #150 Mays card is graded PSA MINT 9, and exhibits all the characteristics of even a higher consideration with four razor sharp corners, framing perfect borders and a print-free image. With zero surface wear, we are hard pressed to find why this card isn’t a higher graded example. Of the almost 3,700 examples of the 1961 Topps #150 Mays graded to this date by PSA, only a single example has graded higher. PSA MINT 9.
