Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1959 Topps Baseball set consists of 572 cards. Each uniquely designed card front combines rich colors and baseball-shaped, close-up photos, with a solid-color background above and below and a white border. A facsimile autograph is found across the photo. Card numbers 199-286 can be found with either white or gray backs, with the gray stock being the less common. Several different variations exist with different background colors or player poses, though these do not impact any one card's specific value.

Willie Mays is often best remembered for his the iconic photograph of "The Catch", an over-the-shoulder grab of a long drive by Vic Wertz in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. That sequence is displayed here on this iconic card. Willie Mays was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1979.
