Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this 1987-style insert featuring Willie Mays have consistently sold for $1 to $2 plus shipping for raw copies.
Condition Details
The card is inside a top loader which protects edges; centering appears slightly bottom-heavy. Surface looks clean with no visible scratches or print lines from the photo distance.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) exceeds the raw value and the low market value for modern legend inserts makes it difficult to recoup costs unless it achieves a perfect Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Willie Mays is shown in a classic Giants white uniform in a batting stance. The card utilizes the wood-grain border design from the 1987 Topps set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of that design. It features the SF logo in a circle top-left and Mays' name in an orange box bottom-right.
Notable Features
35th Anniversary 1987 Topps design insert; features Hall of Fame legend Willie Mays; standard gloss finish.
Authentication Notes
Genuine modern Topps product. The high-resolution printing of the logo and wood-grain pattern is consistent with official 2022 production standards.
