William C. Greene was one of the top baseball photographers of the era. His images are treasured by collectors but very few of his original negatives exist. The offered rarity not only is from the original camera of Greene and was handled by him, but it captures a young rookie Willie Mays in uniform with the rest of his National League champion teammates. Offered here for the first time ever, the negative is in great shape and it bears not only the Greene stamp on the paper sleeve but also the names of all those present on the reverse.
