Default Willie Mays Autograph Help: Real or No Deal?

Hey there! This is my first ever post here, Reddit recommended you guys highly, so I’m here to check it out! I recently got this Willie mays 1972 card, and was wondering if there’s a chance the auto on it is real. I’ve attached the image as an attachment, since idk how to include an image in the thread itself yet. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks a million, and have a great day! -Polarboy

I think it’s good but 90% of the autographs posted on here get the thumbs down, so who knows?

At the risk of sounding like I actually think I know what I’m talking about, I don’t like this one. Mays’ autograph usually looks like it was penned with quick sharp decisive strokes. This one look’s slowly drawn with multiple pauses. This is especially visible in the W. Since I really don’t know what I’m talking about Rob is probably right.

Neither one of us knows what we’re talking about!

Giants non-autograph, non-card guy and 1971 Pirates guy.
