Offered is a compelling example of one of the most important rookie cards extant, Willie Mays’ attractive 1951 Bowman Rookie, the horizontal masterpiece that is, of course, one of the two keys to the fabled 1951 Bowman issue and a hallmark item for any serious Willie Mays collector. This attrative 1951 Bowman Willie Mays RC has great coloring and arrives in a PSA 5 holder. It's nicely centered top to bottom, but 80/20 left to right with four only slightly touched corners. The Mays RC is No. 305 in the set and continues to appreciate in value.
