Having just spent a couple of days in Cooperstown AND being a Williams collector, I could not resist posting this after stumbling across the article on the HOF web-site today.

Looking forward to the pictures Scott! Since I've never been, for now the closest thing to immortal goosebumps I can get will have to be from looking at the pictures.

Any new Williams pickups lately? I haven't picked up any Wiliams for months, well haven't picked up anything for that matter. I knew his debut was sometime in late april, but good to finally nail down the date.

Hey Andy, this was my 2nd Cooperstown trip.....always a great time!!

Check my Ted vintage thread for a few odd-ball items I have picked up recently- an old Cuban issue, a super-ball :lol: and a team issue I think are my most recent additions. Always on the lookout though.......

Totally coincidental that I found out his debut was today.

Hope all is well.....still working on the '57 set?
