Uncommon card · No. 175252

Guicel "Willie" Camper (October 1, 1924 – April 30, 1943) was an American man and performer who is notable for being the fourth verified tallest man in medical history to have reached the height of 8 feet (240 cm) or more. At the time of his death at the age of 18, his death certificate reached the height of 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m) which disputes his 8 ft 7 in claim. He also wore size 32 shoes. He is the 2nd tallest recorded African-American, though likely being the tallest person from the time after Robert Wadlow's death. Robert was 8 ft 11 in, making him roughly 9 inches taller than Willie.
