Need some expert opinions on this 1952 bowman Willie Mays

Hi all, I had the opportunity to buy a 52 bowman mays yesterday. I am leaning toward it being real but would like to get some opinions on it. This was in a lot with 10 other common names from 52 bowman and looks/feels/smells the same as the others. I doubt it would get anything higher than authentic if sent for grading.

Looks legit to me.

I'm not an expert though. Nice find!

Real, but battered.
