I picked up this 64 Giants team signed baseball. I thought its pretty cool to have 5 HOF signed on the same panel. Can anyone verify whether any of the HOFs are clubhouse version, especially Mays with the loops on the W and M?
Tks in advance.

I've got a 1973 Mets team signed ball with the same signature style. I always thought it was a clubhouse, but it's not like Mays took the clubhouse guy to the Mets with him when he got traded, so, very interesting. I thought I heard once that Murf the equipment manager was the main ghost signer but I'm not sure.

I got a similar response when I posted the Mets ball. No one ventured a guess. I think it's just difficult to make a call on this one. I'll post another pic if I can find it in the trunk.

However given the fact that we have very similar signatures signed 9 years apart with two different teams, I'm starting to feel a little better about mine.

EDIT: Found a couple of scans already done of mine.

Just saw another 64 Giants team ball, and the Mays is in very similar fashion.

That looks like a JSA cert. Does it specify if the Mays is OK? If so, you at least know yours should pass.
