Danbury Mint Sports Statues

Does anyone collect these? They are probably the best, most realistic sports statues on the market. They run about 9" tall and have great detail. I've been looking for one of Willie Mays "The Catch" double figurine. I think they stopped making that one and was hoping to find one second hand.

Hagar,

I agree, very nice figures. I only have one, Clemente. Wife bought it for me, but I must say I was impressed with the quality. She bought it direct when it first came out. They can be picked up on e-bay for less than issue cost, you just have to wait until Mays shows up.

I've considered getting others, but these damn pre-war cards cost too much money.

Hagar...

These are indeed quite nice. I have the Danbury 1975 Reds Team Set of statues, and it is one of my favorite modern figural pieces.

Regarding your Willie Mays inquiry, I just checked Ebay and found two in Ebay Stores. The first is item # 150243081761, with a Buy it Now price of $119.

The second is item # 120243658486, with a Buy It Now of $139.99. The first, less expensive one actually looks better, as the center medallion appears perfect. The second, more expensive one has some discoloration.

Hope this is helpful, Mark

I dont have any of the player statues but I do have the Yankees Bullpen Car which is pretty cool.

I have never seen a checklist, maybe there is one listed in one of those Beckett Memorabilia annual catalogs.

Jason,

I think I have a checklist somewhere. I'll have to dig it up, but probably not until tomorrow.

The Danbury website has all of the currently sold ones. For some reason they don't offer the Mays figure any longer.

Thanks for the info regarding the one's listed on e-bay!

The only problem with the 119 dollar Mays Danbury Statue on ebay is that it has Mays making the catch over his right shoulder -- he actually made the catch over his left shoulder.

Greg, I hadn't noticed that! Oh well, it's still a great statue.
