Juan Marichal outduels Warren Spahn 1-0 when 16th inning walkoff HR by Willie Mays ends the contest.
That was what baseball was like then... (& it would have been oh so much more exciting had ghost runners been placed on 2nd for each extra inning!)

I'm not sure...

1955 Red Man #7 Willie Mays ⭐️ MLB Pioneer
Say Hey Wednesday! Willie Mays' professional baseball career began with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro League.
I love both these cards. They were my Dad's when he was a kid.
When I sent them to PSA, I was curious which might get a higher grade. I think the image and coloring on the PSA 1 are better than that on the PSA 2, but what do I know?
It's from Red Man Chewing Tobacco and the image is almost cartoonish in nature.
I wish we could get cards like this today, from various products.

Traded my 2023 All Aces Shohei Ohtani for this… May have been in the other guy’s favor, but I’m happy. They are still making Shohei cards, they aren’t getting bats signed by Willie Mays.

My vintage card of the week: The 1958 Topps Willie Mays. This isn’t my most valuable Mays card, but it is probably my favorite looking Mays card. I just love the blue background on this card. Growing up, I always heard that Mays was grouchy, so I love the soft smile shining through in this portrait, proving that reputation was a media caricature.
