I would hope Mays inquired about the conditions his signings would take place, the number of signatures or length of time to sign, and his compensation.
Those would be terms he agreed to at the time.
Some former players have websites that items can be mailed to, and for a fee the items will be signed. Johnny Bench is one who does this. He's very much aware of the resale market, and his signature has value. This is an easy way to separate a collector from one who just wants to make a buck and flip memorabilia .
Scenario's like this are a win / win to me.
