Default To or to not Say Hey...Part 2

So a couple of months ago I asked: "if you were going to have Willie mays sign your 1952 topps would you have him put anything else like "say hey kid" or just his name. A lot of you had great storys about him and not so great stories.

Well I had Mays sign my card and I also asked if he would inscribe 660 HR to make my card unique from others. Well he signed his name just fine but as he was adding the "HR" he ran out of room and started writing on the tablecloth. He noticed what he did and then added the "HR" again. So I have an extra "H" which is kinda funny and insures the authenticity to stangers I guess. Here is a photo of what I have, what do you think of this?

When he ran out of room and started signing the tablecloth, were you thinking "Say Hey, that's my vintage 1952 card there, Willie!"


BTW, was Willie on his best behavior when you saw him?

lol, I cringed a little but I was like hey, its still Mays. He really didnt acknowledge anyone. He had two women helping him and he never really said Hi to anyone or shook hands. He really shouldnt be signing for the public anymore.

When he first looked at my card he told one of the women helping him he couldnt sign it because he had just signed a contact with topps and he could only sign their cards??? didnt quite get what he meant by that, maybe he thought it was 1985 in his mind.

Default Similarly...

I had Earl Weaver sign a ball at a card show when I was a kid. One of his handlers interrupted him while he was signing it, so I now have an authentic "Earl Weav" signed ball. As a twelve year old, I wasn't sure what to do after that and didn't have a contingency plan ready. Ol' Weav' didn't even notice and handed the ball back to me.

Forgive me, as I got lost and stumbled over here from the baseball card side and I've never seen a Mays signature before, but what does his signature spell? It looks like "4uue Tut" or something.

Neat story, and neat card too with the extra "H"!

I was at show in Washington state a long time ago. I had a multi signature ball that was already signed by Mays. Bob Feller looked at the ball before adding his own signature and said, "Oh I see you got a "Tootie Mogs" autograph on here."
