This collection of ten Willie Mays photographs were taken between 1954 and 1982 and signed by the Say Hey Kid and by players he teamed with during his 21-year tenure with the New York/San Francisco Giants. This piece is a panorama of his career, including a wire service photo of a young Mays touching bats with the likes of Whitey Lockman, Monte Irvin and Alvin Dark and photos with Johnny Antonelli, Dusty Rhodes, Leo Durocher, McCovey and Juan Marichal, as well as shots of a retired Willie with Durocher and Irvin, and Johnny Mize. All signatures are remarkably crisp and clear, grading high 8s and 9s.
