Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among nearly 3,700 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, not a single example of this subject has been graded higher. Power and Speed were the signature talents of the great player depicted on this exemplary card. In 1955, Mays unleashed his prowess at the plate, blasting 51 homers to lead the National League. Then, his performance the following year showcased his speed. Mays' 40 stolen bases in 1956 initiated a four-year reign as the League's base-stealing king. The offered card of the incomparable Willie Mays boasts an absolutely pack-fresh appearance and features clean, apparently never-touched edge cuts on all four borders. Pristine, uninterrupted gloss coats an intense rendering of the classic cardfront design, and the snow white borders surrounding the flawless image provide the finishing touch on this razor-sharp beauty. This one is a visual marvel! Mint condition.
