It's a freaking autograph!!!! I've seen some of them with 10-15 things for a single player like Reggie Jackson or Mays or whomever. Some signers are gracious wonderful people when signing just as they are in life. Mays is a SCHMUCK. I had a Perez Steele with Him, Mickey & Duke Snider. Mantle already signed it (another 'FUN' experience as well....but RIP) and mays was next. Instead of signing directly under his face on his chest, he signed to the right a little which just happened to go right through Duke Snider's face. I just looked at him. Danc has it right up there.....Mays just never got it. Sooner or later, you have to move on in life......he'll obviously die a bitter curmudgeon of a man.......fortunately, I don't have that card anymore.....but I do have the wonderful memories!
