Sixty-plus years old and certified genuine. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Westfield, Alabama — The Origins of Say Hey

Willie Howard Mays Jr. was born May 6, 1931, in Westfield, Alabama — an unincorporated community in Jefferson County north of Birmingham, in the Alabama coal and steel country that produced some of the most talented athletes of the mid-20th century. Mays' father, Willie Mays Sr. (known as "Cat"), played semi-professional baseball, and the baseball heritage flowed directly into the son. Mays joined the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues as a teenager before the New York Giants signed him and he worked his way through the minor leagues to his 1951 Major League debut — a debut interrupted by military service during the Korean War that cost Mays two full seasons. The nickname "Say Hey Kid" was given to him early in his career by journalists who observed his habit of greeting people with "Say hey" — an expression of his personality that the baseball world adopted as a permanent identifier. The 1962 Topps All-Star card is the vintage document of Mays in his San Francisco prime. Condition: NOS.

⭐ San Francisco Giants — The Catch — The Prime — 660 Home Runs — The Greatest All-Around Player

Willie Mays moved with the Giants from New York to San Francisco in 1958 and continued to produce the most complete statistical profile of any position player in baseball history during his San Francisco years. In 1962, Mays was one year removed from a 40-home-run, 47-stolen-base season in 1961 — numbers that represented the combination of power and speed that no other center fielder of his era could approach. The argument for Mays as the greatest baseball player of all time has always rested on the totality: the batting average, the home runs, the stolen bases, the defensive range, the throwing arm, the instincts. The 1962 Topps All-Star #395 PSA 6 EX-MT is the vintage certified card of the greatest all-around player the game has ever produced, during the peak of his San Francisco career. Baseball Hall of Fame: 1979. Condition: NOS.
