I got the "bug" back in collecting autograghs over the past year and I appreacted any feedback on the piece.

Thanks everyone for your help

Hey Chris. I'm certainly not an autograph guy, but these two Mays examples in which you state that both are the work of Mrs. Mays look nothing alike in my opinion.

Not even close.

Can you please elaborate on how you came to the conclusion that Mrs. Mays was the author of both of these? Thank you.

Not even close? Really?

Do yourself a favor and print both of them and study them.

Relax Chris. I'm not attacking you. I'm simply asking you to point out the difference. I already stated that I'm not an autograph guy, so I was just looking for your reasoning. I can't print them out as I don't have a printer but maybe someone here can help out and put the two signatures side by side.

OK. I was able to get these side by side. They still don't look alike to me at all. What should I be looking for to support your findings?

I know you're not attacking me, sorry if my "inflection" implied that. The point I was making is that I would like you to really study the two Willie Mays that are posted here.

Instead of telling Jimmy to "figure it out himself," Chris, why don't you help him out?
(Like he first asked you to.)
