Net54baseball.com Forums - 1997 Topps Certified Willie Mays Autograph for Trade

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0d67f3d5.jpg

I have this very cool certified Willie Mays autograph for trade for decent hits off of my need list. The card itself is obviously a reprint of his 1966 Topps card and was a signed insert from the 1997 Topps set. The signature looks pretty nice, but it was done with a magic marker on a glossy surface, so parts of it are a bit thin/see through. When I searched out these types of cards on-line (they are extremely hard to find), it seems they each look this same way, but the signature on this one is much, much stronger than the others I was able to see.

Check out the large scan and LMK if you have any questions.

If you have nothing off of my need list, I am also very interested in these:
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 280 Lilly AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set
• 1972 Topps BB (upgrading my 2 sets and looking for nr. mt. centered 'in-action' cards, a few stars and a bunch of others)
• 1962 Topps BB (haven't put a comprehensive need list together yet, but want to upgrade my set and could use sharp, decently centered cards as well as a few 'green tints')
• 1963 Fleer BB (need about 20 or so, including some HOF'ers, in exmt or better shape and have many to trade)
• 1964 Topps (just started upgrading this set, so could use many of the stars in exmt or better shape)
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1954 Bowman BB (looking for a starter set in ex+ shape)
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• I'm always interested in HOF'ers and high numbers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's.
• Plus, I'm forever looking to upgrade many other cards from my 1957-1972 sets, so if you have sharp cornered cards in nice shape, I may be able to use some of them.
