Sold For: $13,800
Year: 1951
Auction: 2024 May
Lot #: 4
Auction: Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards
Graded EX 5 by PSA. Extremely desirable rookie card of legendary New York Giants 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 attractive example displays vibrant colors, a crisp image, and light corner wear. Boldly printed reverse. There is a patch of surface wear on Mays' forearm noted for accuracy. 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. Opening Bid $10.
