WANTED: Willie Mays to sign my 1960 NL Ball

[eastonfalcon19]

I got Willie back in 2009 in Cooperstown during HOF weekend. He was signing at Mickey's place for about $350. I got him on a 500HR poster. Although he signed mine nice, like other people are saying he did ruin some pieces. There was a guy in front of me who had a dozen balls for Mays to sign. Willie started to sign in black sharpie and the guy started arguing with him about using a ball point. Not sure why the guy wanted a dozen balls signed at that price when he looked like he couldn't even afford a pair of shoes is beyond me. Good luck though with your ball.

Add me to the list of bad experiences. I purchased 2 of the same display pieces (one for me and the other a birthday present for my brother) that had multiple players and signatures on it. Each player was pictured but the background area around the player was darker. My brother and I waited on line and I went first and showed Mays where I wanted it signed across his white uniform and he complied. My brother (who isn't a collector) set the exact same poster down in front of Mays and he signed in the darker area making the autograph difficult to see. A real SOB for sure.
