My Biggest Card Purchase EVER (by Far)-1951 Bowman Willie Mays RC *Update w/SGC Grade
2 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to share by most expensive but more importantly favorite cards of all time, this will be part of my "Mt. Rushmore" of cards I own. I don't see any creases, the corners are soft, but everything else looks great and I sent it to SGC for authentication/grade (Hoping for a 4 but we shall see, you never know). Enjoy!

Congrats great looking card
|
That looks like a very nice card Patrick. Congrats on knocking off a whale! :D
|
Congrats on the Mays, it will look amazing in a SGC slab.
|

Congrat. Looks really nice

Congrats! I agree that it would look really nice in a tux holder.
|
... and what did you pay for it?
|
Thanks
Thanks everyone, to be honest, would rather not disclose the sale price!
|
And you went raw? Strong like bull!
|

Oh wow looks great! Always feels awesome(scary) when you finally get that grail piece. Hoping for a 5! :)
|
Very nice!
|
Amazing card Pat! Simply amazing!!!
|
WOW!!!!!! ITS REAL PRETY (image a really southern accent saying it)
|
Beautiful card! Congratulations on adding a face to the mountain. ;)
|
That is an awesome looking card and I wouldn't be surprised if it is better than a 4.
|
Beautiful card, Patrick.
Congrats on a great pick up and landing a whale. :) |
If no creases or wrinkles I'd say that looks like a strong 5 to me. Congrats!
|
Very nice copy of a beautiful card. A young Willie with his whole career ahead of him and on his way to 660 homeruns and 24 all-star appearances. But no one knew that when this card was issued.
|
The 51B Mays is such a gorgeous card. Way to go!
|
Great card Patrick. What other faces will be on The Mountain ?
|
Thanks
Thanks everybody, I want an early Honus Wagner card to put on the mountain too
|
Great card!!

Looks great. I'm happy you were able to score it.
|
In the olden days, that would be an EX+/NM. It's outstanding.
|
Nice score on the Willie. Looks great and looks like it has a great shot at a 5.
|
Thanks

Thanks again for all the kind words, the card was returned today by SGC with the grade I wanted (and thought it deserved). Still on Cloud nine and can't believe I own this card. Enjoy! -Pat

Very Sharp 4. Congrats!

I'm not surprised by the grade, just that you were able to get it graded that quickly.:)
