Terry, thank you for your reply. I always respect your opinion and comments. I was victim of Mrs.Mays handiwork in the early 70s, as she kindly signed over 30 of my Willie Mays cards ttm. I am much more familiar with her signature than his. I do have quite a few in person cards signed by Mr. Mays too, and they vary in style over the years. In my opinion, there are certain characteristics of this signature and Mrs. Mays signature, but none of my cards signed by Mrs. Mays resemble the Willie. I think it is either a deliberate forgery or it is authentic. It seems s but shaky so I was leaning toward forgery, which is why I posted it on this site. I hope my comment is not offensive in any way, and I understand there are two of his wives that signed in his behalf, so it could be signed by wife #2 where I don't have as much experience.
