Description

1951 Bowman Willie Mays Rookie #305 PSA EX 5. If judging players by the "five tools" metric then Willie Mays would be the greatest to ever play the game. The "Say Hey Kid" was a 24 time All-Star and literally could do it all. He could hit for average, hit for power, run the bases, field exceptionally well and had a great throwing arm. A lifetime batting average of .301, 660 home runs and 339 steals would put him amongst the all -time greats but his 12 Gold Gloves attest to those "five tools." Offered is Willie's highly coveted 1951 Bowman rookie card that shows Mays ready to pounce on an incoming pitch. This example of card #305 exhibits bold, eye-catching color and stands as one of the visual highlights of the set.
