Description: "Buy the card, not the grade." Luckily with this specific auction, you get a great card AND a great grade. This is a rare and valuable 1951 Bowman #305 Willie Mays Rookie Card. It is a must-have for any serious collector of vintage cards. Willie Mays, arguably the greatest baseball player who ever lived, was a member of the New York Giants in 1951, helping lead the team to the World Series against the New York Yankees. This particular card is an original, not a reprint, and has been graded by PSA with a grade of 4.5 (VG-EX+). This card exhibits wonderful centering, especially for the grade, giving it terrific eye appeal. While there are two minor vertical line print defects on the card's front, the back remains clean, so we know those lines aren't bends or creases in the card. Willie's determined face remains unblemished, and the colors on the front have stayed dark and bold more than 70 years after the card's production. The printing on the back is clean and clear, detailing Mays' short but impressive time in the minor leagues. Cards from the 1951 Bowman set are highly sought after, and the fact that this is a rookie card of one of the game's greatest players of all time makes it even more valuable to collectors. The card is a true piece of history. Don't miss your chance to own it!
