Willie Mays, Giants Center-Fielder
Major League Baseball Hall-of-Fame

From his remarkable combination of speed and power at the plate to his iconic defense in center field, Willie Mays was one of the best all-around players in Major League Baseball history.

1951 Bowman is proud to be the issuer of both Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle's ROOKIE CARD !!! Many think that their rookie cards were 1952 Topps, but they would be wrong.

Not only did Willie Mays appear on numerous vintage cards of his own, he also shared an interesting 1956 Topps card with Hank Aaron. 1956 Topps cards showed a large player photo along with a smaller action photo. On Aaron's card, the action photo showed a player sliding into home. Turns out that player wasn't Hank Aaron but was actually Willie Mays !!! Great for me as I was and am a huge Willie Mays fan.

Last little tidbit:
Really ... how good was Willie Mays ?
Well this is what his manager Hall-of-Famer Leo Durocher had to say.
"What can I say about Willie Mays after I say he's the greatest player any of us has ever seen. If he could cook, I'd marry him!"

Baseball
Baseball card collecting terms (part H-R)

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
