Offered here is a remarkable piece of personal Willie Mays memorabilia: his own National Baseball Hall of Fame lapel pin, presented to "The Say Hey Kid" upon his 1979 induction into Cooperstown. Crafted in 10K gold, the pin displays the classic Hall of Fame insignia, with a detailed gold plaque frame surrounding a textured silver baseball ornament at its center, evoking the look of the Hall's iconic facade.
The reverse is engraved "Willie Mays LGB 10K," confirming both its personal association and gold content. Measuring approximately 3/4" tall, the pin retains its original threaded post and clasp backing, fully intact and functional. It shows little handling and light wear from age as it approaches a half-century vintage.
This lapel pin carries direct provenance from Willie Mays, with a certificate of authenticity explicitly confirming the piece originated from his personal collection. A rare and deeply personal artifact connecting directly to one of baseball's greatest legends, this is an exceptional opportunity for advanced Mays collectors and Hall of Fame memorabilia enthusiasts.
