The following card was one of two cards thrown in by Collectors Zone 407 (linked here) with the Lombardi and Roush Diamond Classic cards shown above. The other was a 1970 Larry Dierker card.

The Mays Galasso card back has a portion of a collage of Mays cards through the years, Now I want to get the rest of the cards just to put the whole collage together!
1984 Galasso Willie Mays, card #73.

Stay well,
