I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to buy four rare Willie Mays Cards to my collection! I was pretty quiet during the process as it was a process. I share the story from its initial phase all the way to its completion, which was today!
I have had my eye on a lot of these rare Willie Mays cards for a while and to have the opportunity to buy them all at once is absolutely phenomenal!

@mookiechillson Ай бұрын

Pinhole for the win!! You can do a floating frame for the Laughlin, Sammy! See thru glass on both sides when you take it down. That’s what I would look into! So cool - I learned so much about that set from your journey - I’m so happy for you, dude. Congratulations!!!

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

Thanks Mook. I'll definitely look into a floating frame. I think that's definitely the best move.

@larrygitlin6017 Ай бұрын

Those are some beautiful rare Mays pieces. Love the Chesterfield advertisement . At that time everybody smoked and there are others with Williams, Musial etc. To frame your Laughlin, I would have it clear on the back also. I have a President Madison document that I had framed that way so I could read both sides not just the autograph. I hear your excitement in your new acquisitions. Enjoy and Congratulations.

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

Thanks so much man! I'll definitely do so with the Laughlin.

@NuthinFancyCollectibles Ай бұрын

Super happy for you, Sammy. Fantastic pieces! If you frame the standup, I would make it clear on both sides so you can look at the back without taking it out. It would be some work, but someone may be able to cut out a matting that would encompass the standup, but would be the color you want being seen from the front. Just because a player advertised for cigarettes of Coke doesn’t mean they actually used the product. Congratulations.

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

Thanks. Mookie Chillson sent me a few images of what he has purchased. There are definitely some good solutions. In terms of brand sponsorship, I'd imagine that's the case with Mays.

@thacardstory5800 Ай бұрын

As a fellow player collector, there is no better feeling than snagging one of your white whales. Well, except when you manage to snag several in one deal. Well done sir and thanks for sharing.

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

Thanks Matt. It's a rarity for that to happen.

@Rocketrickj18 Ай бұрын

Awesome Mays pieces Sammy! Regarding the Laughlin Super Standup, you can also cutout the mat around the signature on the back. Since it's on the back of the standup, it should not show through on the front.

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

Thanks Rick!

@catherineedwards4241 Ай бұрын

I can appreciate your excitement over these items, especially the Coke piece. I happen to have the complete set, including one of the Rizzuto pieces, but still need the Mays! Maybe one day:)

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

I was wondering who may have the Rizzuto's. I'm not looking to build the set, but I've never seen the Rizzuto's at shows.

@vintagecollector5340 Ай бұрын

Nice pickups. If you dont mind oversized Willie Mays items, consider newspapers and photos, as well. Lots of stuff out there to be had. I managed to grab a newspaper with mention of his debut, as well as the newspaper mentioning his first hit as a homerun off Warren Spahn. Definitely oversized items, but unique and rare. Theyre also surprisingly very cheap.

@SammyThunder Ай бұрын

That’s cool. There are some oversized items I’ve considered outside his cards.
