Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC. Second-year 1952 Bowman Baseball #218 Willie Mays. This high number displays slightly errant left-to-right centering with moderate, but even corner wear. Surface wrinkling near the slugger's hat is well concealed and the batting pose is moderately blurred. Despite a hint of reverse wax staining common to the issue, the back is otherwise clean. A fine mid-grade copy for the set collector.
