Maury Wills dead at 89

Well, damn. I guess my days of Wills autos at a bargain $ are over for a bit. Sad to lose another Dodger.

I met him at a card show a number of years ago, very nice man. RIP

Was really hoping that Topps would issue a certified auto of him as a Pirate.

You'd probably know better, but I don't think I have one (probably because none were made?). Lots of Dodger cards for sure. I know he got Expo card in Archives. Your best bet was probably the Archive buybacks, but I don't even recall seeing one of those.

Yeah, I've been looking at those for some time and haven't seen anything except Dodgers cards. Most of them are newer Turn Back the Clock and American Pie - type stuff.

I know his 67T is a Pirate and a high number. Thinking 68T is best bet. I think by 69 he was an Expo. Does he have a Topps card before 67? I know he was excluded for a while and 63 Fleer was his only card for a bit.

2003 Topps Shoebox Collection #26 Maury Wills is his only other Topps card as a Pirate.

So, it appears Maury did have a Pirate auto card in 2020 Archives, a 1/1.
