1951 Bowman #305 Willie Mays Rookie PSA EX 5

Sold For: $18,000
Year: 1951
Auction: 2022 June
Lot #: 8
Auction: Prewar Baseball - 1910s and 1920s Cards
Graded EX 5 by PSA. Extremely desirable rookie card of legendary Hall of Famer Willie Mays, one of the most important of all 1950s bubble-gum cards. In addition to being one of the two key cards of the 1951 Bowman set, Mays is part of the scarce high-number series (#253-324). This example displays a crisp image, honest corner wear, and centering toward the bottom left. Boldly printed reverse displaying a few patches of light wax staining. The 1951 Bowman Willie Mays rookie has always been a card-collecting icon, especially among postwar cards. This is a solid example of this classic in an extremely desirable grade, offering an outstanding value compared to higher-graded examples. Reserve $10.
