Description: Say Hey! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY (I get paid by the word. Don't I wish!) This card is 45 years old. It is a 1979 TCMA card number 6 of the greatest baseball player who ever lived--WILLIE MAYS. And the card is from arguably the best set TCMA ever made--the 291 card History Series set that was issued in two parts over a nearly three year period. It is graded a perfect 10 by PSA. It is perfectly centered left to right. THERE ARE ONLY FOUR OF THIS CARD EVER GRADED 10. FOUR. (I am fortunate to own two of them. This is the only one I will sell in my lifetime.)The amazing fact about that is that this card is 45 years old. Extremely hard to find in a PSA 10 or even a PSA 9 condition. I have seen recently an ungraded card of this priced at $150! Full disclosure: I own more than 40 PSA 10 or BGS 9.5 MAYS CARDS. I have several far more recent Mays cards--as late as 2023--of which there are more than three cards with a grade of PSA 10. I have been collecting baseball cards since 1957. (That makes me old!) I own more than 700 DIFFERENT CARDS OF WILLIE MAYS, THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. If you want a perfect Mays card that is almost a half century old that won't require a second mortgage, this would be a very good choice. And the price is right. At least, I think it is. All my prices are fair. They HAVE to be. For one simple reason. This is NOT my hobby. This is how I have to earn a living for the past 28 years, including the last 23+ years on eBay. That means I have to sell my items in a timely manner. Before I die (what a bummer!), I have decided to sell a small portion of my Willie Mays collection-and while I am alive, I still have to earn a living. I am only selling about 80 Mays cards, almost all of them are graded 8, 9 or 10 by PSA, BGS or SGC. Some of the cards I will be selling are the only cards ever graded 10 by PSA or BGS, or SGC. Now the rules: 1) No discount. It's $204.00 if you want it. If you don't want it, you would be overpaying by $204.00. 2) Please add $11.55 for insured shipping anywhere in the continental U.S. 3) I also ship worldwide through eBay's International Shipping program. Check eBay for details. I have shipped to 30 countries and all 50 states in the U.S. 4) Payment is due within three days of purchase. 5) If you have a question, please ask. 6) I am proud of my feedback on eBay, encompassing more than 7,600 separate transactions since 2000. 7) I mail quickly and pack carefully 8) I primarily focus on five areas of investment collectibles--sports cards, framed and unframed photos, rare Beanie Babies, Marilyn Monroe items (somebody has to do it!), and Pokemon cards and plush.9) The most important rule--DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER 1. If you are still reading, please check my other listings. Thank you. Jerry P.S. From 1972 to 1984, TCMA produced a total of 41 different baseball sets. Although not nearly as well known as Topps and the other major manufacturers, they played an important role in the growth of the hobby. Of the 41 sets they produced, I own 14 of the sets, which my four children will inherit along with 90% of all my sports cards.
