Willie Mays Autograph? opinions needed!

[greenmonster66]

I received this in the mail back in the late 1980s. Can't tell if this is auto pen or real signature?

Your thoughts???

hard to tell if autopen w/out holding it in person. Im not sure I like the form of the autograph anyways. Im guessing its secretarial if its a "genuine signed" item.

This may be a naive question, but did they ever do "autopen" signatures with markers?

NASA sure did. In fact, that is what they primarily used.

From the Mays autos I've owned, his W and M always seem a bit sharper. But the ink also looks weird on yours, not sure it's it's from the scan or not.

I think it's a good sig with a crappy pen.

Here's a Willie Mays TTM signed by his wife. Some people call the person who certed the below Mays as authentic, as the best authenticator in the business and yet he doesn't even know the below sig was signed by Willie's wife.
