Now this was back in the 80s and 90s but I have heard that this is still the case.
He did add 755 to a limited number of the original 500 HR Ron Lewis posters if others had added their HR totals but that was rare because Mays was always hesitant to add his HR total without charging an enormous amount of extra money to do it.
But yes baseballs with the added 755 inscription are hard to find and do have a premium but they are out there.

Why was this? Strictly a play to be able to charge a high premium for the "755" or was there some other reason?
