I recently picked up a couple of "Catman" Willie Mays nodders (flanking the vintage Willie in the middle). The two outer nodders are also Catman and were limited to 24 pieces each. These were made by a guy in Canda 15-20 years ago. I'm not sure how he made the "realistic" Mayses because they are very close to the vintage but not exact (for example, the hat crest is embossed and not a decal). The white base sold on ebay a few weeks ago for $227 but then the buyer demanded a refund and left negative feedback saying it was "repainted junk." Uh, no...it's a Catman. Dude should have known by the painted chest. I got it the second time around for $100.
There is also a realistic Mays in a NY road uni and a caricature Bonds that was limited to 25 pieces. I am on the lookout for both. I think Jimm has them.
