Willie Mays Autograph? opinions needed!

[GrayGhost]

hard to tell if autopen w/out holding it in person. Im not sure I like the form of the autograph anyways. Im guessing its secretarial if its a "genuine signed" item.

This may be a naive question, but did they ever do "autopen" signatures with markers?

NASA sure did. In fact, that is what they primarily used.

From the Mays autos I've owned, his W and M always seem a bit sharper. But the ink also looks weird on yours, not sure it's it's from the scan or not.

I think it's a good sig with a crappy pen.

Here's a Willie Mays TTM signed by his wife. Some people call the person who certed the below Mays as authentic, as the best authenticator in the business and yet he doesn't even know the below sig was signed by Willie's wife.

We interrupt this program to bring you the following news flash.

$41,000 item being certed by abc, xyz with (according to the author) some of the signatures looking shakier than their counterparts being peddled at coaches corner. Evidently a lot more to come that will blow your minds.

Now back to our 10 dollar Mays signature.

I believe he is one of the best, all around the best I know, I guess I am some person now. I always wanted to be some person too.

This great authenticator who is being called into question has been asked by some of these companies to join them numerous times. As you can relate to, I have been asked by one too. We declined because although we must have met their standards for inclusion into their group, they didn't meet ours.
