trying to acquire this card in a trade and since I don't know anything about vintage and condition and prices I don't want to get ripped off

I'm a little hesitant to make any deal with him since he originally told me this was a 52 Topps Mays and but I at least know what 52 Topps cards look like so that didn't fly

what is this? is it Bowman? could it be a reprint? it looks kind of rough on the corners

    That's a 1952 Bowman. The Beckett range on it in VG is $175-$350. I can't tell for sure if it's a reprint, but from the scan it does look like it could be authentic.

    Edited to add that this card isn't Willie's rookie card. His rookie card is the 1951 Bowman.

    Looks like a pretty big horizontal crease running along his arm?


    Still a nice card if the price is right.

    Funny that there's no "s" on his last name...

    on his arm is that a crease or a vein?

    is that an error?
    or is there a story behind this?

    Don't think it is a vein.

    compare it to this card here:

    Mays

    well, doesn't look like we'll be able to close a deal

    even though he had "52 mays vg-ex" as the title of the email he sent me, he says the card is much better than vg and $175 is a joke of an offer for it - won't take any less than 300-400 in star or hofer autos, oh well
