My Willie mays collection

[raulus]

Thanks for sharing your great Mays cards, AP. It's always good fun to see great collections, and it seems like you've still got a lot more coming.

As some of you may know, I have a bit of a Mays collection as well. I've hesitated to share it here, just because this is AP's thread, and I don't want to be viewed as usurping this thread, or maybe stealing the show with an unnecessary cardboard flex.

Having said that, if you have a lot of time on your hands, and you're dying to see my full Mays collection, you can find it here:

However, I will share a few pieces here, since we all enjoy a little cardboard eye candy.

First, a few mainline cards that I enjoy, mostly because of their borders, which make them difficult to find in high grades.

You literally have the best one in the world!!!! I have a handful and it’s slowly growing bigger and better!

1959 Home Run Derby
PSA 1
Actually has auto dealer stamp on back, which is cool to me as that’s where these came from.

Thanks for the praise. "Best", in this context is a bit of a term of art, just because we're only going by stuff in the set registry, which excludes everyone who doesn't do graded cards, and also excludes anything that PSA doesn't grade. So the odds are good that there are a lot of other collections out there that are just as nice if not nicer.

At the same time, it's definitely an exciting adventure to chase down everything that PSA includes in the set registry. Just a handful left to get them all, at least until more pieces are added to the set registry...

And a few Venezuelan dandies, because I've always found them particularly intriguing.

Finally, a handful of some oddballs that are near and dear to my heart. Of course, when I first started collecting, the oddballs confused me and drove me nuts. Now that I've warmed up to them, I've enjoyed the quest to find them, because so many of them are nearly impossible to find.

Great post Nicolo. The 61 Dice and 66 Punch Out are amazing

Hi Al:

Is that the Topps stand up test set issue from like 64? From what I've heard they are really thick. I remember seeing one of these at auction in the last year or so, but the bidding went up to like $28k, so I tapped out.

From what I've heard, there are only a few floating around out there.

Incredible stuff guys, i have never seen some of those. I got in the game late, so a lot of that is permanently out of my reach. Still love seeing and learning about the oddballs with home that I may get a shot at some of them someday.
