This was the sig I found on line that cast the most major doubt with me. I know his early 1950's sigs had a very legible W and M.. But saw this check from 1961 which did as well. Per the LOA on the GAI Mays, it was supposed to have been signed at a game in 1958.

The signed rookie also seemed super bold to me. Most sigs I got at games as a kid were pretty sloppy and quick... Not to say that's applicable here, but just my experience. Regardless the 1961 check sig looks nothing like this supposed 1958 sig.
