Description

Limited-edition lithographic print of Willie Mays, numbered "630/2000," signed by Mays in blue Sharpie across his image. This print, which replicates Mays' 1953 Topps baseball card, was actually produced from the original 1953 Topps artwork of Mays' card. In 1989, the Marriott Corporation purchased the two original 1953 Topps baseball-card artworks of Mantle and Mays for a combined price of $209,000. The company then produced a set of 2,000 limited-edition signed lithographs made from each artwork. Today, these limited-edition signed prints are scarce. The print (11 x 15 inches) displays a tiny chip and tear along the top edge. Very Good to Excellent condition overall. Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA
