WHOA - JUST WON A SWEET VINTAGE!

[hofautos]

Seller didn't want to come down much, but with a little haggling and patience...

Tough to find with this rich color and centered at a decent price.

Well, decent on my terms (lol).... decent in that he didn't want to come down, but i have been looking for a nice 52 topps mays for too long...even the higher grades don't appear this nice aesthetically.

Still too much, but I am happy at $725

Great pickup! I can't believe how bold colors remained over the years.

Great pickup at any price in my mind!!!!!

Thats a great Mays. I only have 57, & 60-65 Mays. I'd kill to add a 51 Bowman or 52 Topps Mays to my 51 Bowman Mantle. I think Mays is in my top 3 or 5 greatest all around players of all time.

Great Pickup

Thanks!
Most analysis I have seen show Willie Mays as the BEST all around player of all time, with Cobb as a close 2nd.

I think you have the right idea there about investing big money. I would love to own a card as beautiful as that maybe one day. Congrats on a great pick up.

Tremendous card!! I have many vintage Willie's but not his 52 Topps or 51 Bowman so I am jealous....

Great pick-up!!
