Anybody know what this Willie Mays item is?

Statman

I've had this for a long time, but never knew what is was from. It seems to be a sticker, about the size of 1975 Topps Mini. It looks like the picture from his Dexter Press card from the late 60's, but in a sticker form. For some reason, I think I remember somebody telling me one time it was just a unlicensed sticker of some sort, but I'n not sure if that's right or not.

The back seems to say Star Line or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks -

It is a 1983 Starliner Sticker. To my knowledge, PSA does not grade them.

Kinda looks like a George Brett picture/postcard that they do grade:

I was just looking at VCP, it appears that SGC grades them. I have most of the set. I'll add some scans in a bit.

Wow - that was fast - thanks for the help. If I had googled Starliner instead of just Starline, I probably would have found it. Thanks for the knowledge!

No problem! I bought them off of eBay a while back because I thought they looked cool. Here is a checklist (pulled from VCP) and some scans:

1 Hank Aaron
2 Ernie Banks
3 Roberto Clemente
4 Rocky Colavito
5 Al Kaline
6 Harmon Killebrew
7 Mickey Mantle
8 Willie Mays
9 Willie McCovey
10 Joe Morgan
11 Jim Palmer
12 Brooks Robinson
13 Frank Robinson
14 Pete Rose
15 Willie Stargell
16 Carl Yastrzemski

Smuggo

They are a sort of fantasy/collector's edition of stickers put out using copies of facsimile auto'd photos used in the 1967 Dexter Press series:

Smuggo is correct. These were a 1983 unauthorized reproduction in smaller, sticker form of the '67 Dexter Press Coca-Cola premiums. They were created by an Indiana dealer who wanted to have something inexpensive in his shop for customers who wanted a "card" of those 1960s superstars.
