Today, on the blog is a piece about the original artwork used for Willie Mays' 1953 Topps baseball card: https://www.postwarcards.com/1953-topps-244-willie-mays-original-artwork/

If you didn't know, the original full-color paintings of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Bob Feller, Jackie Robinson, and Roy Campanella’s 1953 Topps baseball cards were first made available to the hobby in Guernsey’s Topps Auction in 1989.

The Mays art sold for $80k (+10% buyer's premium, of course).
