This beautiful 1951 Bowman #305 Willie Mays RC is graded EX-MT 6 by the experts at BVG. Highlighted by a crisply rendered image of "The Say Hey Kid" at the dawn of his hall of fame career. A solid example with tremendous eye appeal and near perfect centering. This copy has white borders, is crease free and has really nice NM corners in our opinion. Color and image are crisp and the only detraction for us is the wax stain on the back which is far too common on cards from this issue. Really important card for any serious vintage collection.
