Willie mays figurine

Purchased this at Giants Stadium about 30 years ago.
Have never seen one for sale since. Anybody have any information? Thanks in advance. Jerry Sage |
Thirty years ago was a really bad time to buy most newly manufactured sports memorabilia. Though I can only find one sale of this exact statue (it was reproduced in 2011)...that sale was only $20.

Rob -
Appreciate the reply. Your information was as expected - did not think it was of any real value. I have always liked the way the figure was designed and the "Vintage Silver Look". Not a big fan of the base. Put it on a black wood base and then it would resemble a Spalding. :D Thanks, Jerry |
Its funny how 30 years ago sounds so much older when talking about a baseball collective versus purchased in 1990 or so.. 1990 seems like 10 years ago.....where has the time gone..

Even when I hear "50 years old"...my mind initially goes to the 40s or 50s. Hard to believe 1970 is about to become 50 years old. |

anyway....the 1950s were 30 years from the 1980s....right now we are about FORTY years (40) from 1980... |
Yup... we are the old farts now.
And please... nobody here project how fast the next 30 years will go by. Way too depressing. :eek: |

My Mays figurine is certainly not a "high value" collectable but I am very glad that my post sparked some good responses from fellow collectors.
Time does fly - it is a great ride and baseball memorabilia (searching, the hunt and obtaining the wanted items) is a very exciting part of it. Al - Mark keep those excellent collections going. Jerry |
So true, Jerry.... and thanks!
Few people have as good an eye for quality as you, and your collection really inspired me. We had a few hard-fought negotiations, but all of them turned out well for us both (IMHO!) Many thanks to net54 for enabling these great friendships to take place! |
