This is an outstanding Willie Mays rookie card. Centering, which is just a touch low, is likely the only thing keeping this card from being graded a bit higher. Based on color, clarity, and corners this card appears to be a NM-MT card, if not for the centering. Three of the four corners appear very fresh with just a whisper of wear on the lower left corner. The image quality is near perfect with only a tiny printer's dot inside the nameplate as the only detractor. The back of the card is stain free and almost dead-centered. Mays would go on to hit 660 home runs over his career and capture the hearts of fans with his consistent Gold Glove Award Winning fielding skills. One of the true legends of the game captured on cardboard for his rookie year!
