It's sure not "Wille Mays". Anybody have a clue on this?

    If you really want a mystery check out the sig of Greg Maddux!

    It looks like Willie Mays to me. Just a screwy W.

    I've seen a lot worse sigs than his.

    I can't remember where I saw it, but somewhere there was a facsimile of Mays' signature, and when I saw it, it dawned on me. I figured it out, and thought, "Oh, now I see." Apparently when he signs, it is a quick, sloppy version of a signature that actually looks decent.
    The beatings will continue until morale improves.

    i like the willie mays autograph on his 59 topps card. any one have his legit auto from the 1950's that you can post a pic of.

    I'd be P.O.'ed if I paid good money for this autograph.

    Big Hurt, that's nothing, I've got something like a 1991 Donruss signed by Maddux, it looks like a big "G" scrawled across the card. Of course I didn't pay any money for it, he signed it for free.

    speaking of autographs, I have a ton. from modern players to 1953 Archives, to NASCAR drivers. my favorite of all is Andre Dawson's. he has a nice sig. I mailed a whole baseball to Hank Aaron, c/o Atlanta Braves. He actually signed the ball and sent it back to me.

    sorry I got off subject there.
    I thought it was, and then it was.

    the auto in this Heritage auction looks great...I wish he would sign his stuff like this one all the time. Very legible and magnificient. I can also see the evolutionary process of how he went from the TCMA auto to his current one.
