Graded 84 NM 7 by SGC. Hall of Famer. Presented is an extremely fresh-looking copy of Topps' first Willie Mays depiction. This much-prized card exhibits minimal effects of past handling, and continues to deliver superior aesthetic quality. Although this is a thoroughly appealing card by any measure, it's the richness of the item's color that truly sets this example apart from most of its contemporaries. Mays' portrait, on the cardfront of this desirable "second year" collectible, is vibrant in its visual splendor. The background is of the deepest blue imaginable, and has been so precisely printed that even the subtle lines on the wall behind Mays' likeness (not discernible at all on lesser specimens) are pronounced and clear. The corners culminate in strong points, and the item's overall brightness is impeccable. Attractive Near Mint condition.
