Description:
A striking commemorative postcard personally signed by Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays in bold black marker, professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. The postcard captures a memorable moment at the White House, depicting President Ronald Reagan receiving a framed portrait of Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander during a luncheon honoring members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Willie Mays is pictured seated in the foreground applauding as Hall of Fame President Edward Stack presents the artwork to President Reagan. Mays' bold autograph is prominently signed across the upper left portion of the image, providing excellent contrast and an attractive overall presentation.

The reverse of the postcard identifies the event as taking place on March 27, 1981, during a White House luncheon hosted by President Reagan honoring 32 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It also notes Reagan's connection to baseball through his portrayal of Grover Cleveland Alexander in the 1952 film The Winning Team. The postcard has been professionally encapsulated by PSA/DNA in a tamper-evident holder for superior preservation and display.

Historical Context:
Willie Mays (1931–2024) is universally regarded as one of the greatest all-around players in baseball history. Over a remarkable 23-year Major League career, primarily with the New York and San Francisco Giants, Mays combined extraordinary power, speed, defensive brilliance, and longevity. He compiled 660 career home runs, won two National League Most Valuable Player Awards, earned 24 All-Star selections, captured 12 Gold Glove Awards, and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979.

The White House luncheon depicted on this postcard celebrated the enduring legacy of baseball's greatest players and reflected President Ronald Reagan's lifelong affection for America's national pastime. Reagan, a former sports broadcaster and actor who portrayed Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander in The Winning Team, welcomed Hall of Fame legends to the White House in one of the most memorable intersections of presidential and baseball history during his administration.

Signed collectibles depicting Willie Mays alongside President Reagan are especially desirable, combining two iconic American figures in a single historic image while commemorating an important White House celebration of baseball's greatest legends.
