1997 Topps Certified Willie Mays Autograph for Trade

[JollyElm]

I have this very cool certified Willie Mays autograph for trade for decent hits off of my need list. The card itself is obviously a reprint of his 1966 Topps card and was a signed insert from the 1997 Topps set. The signature looks pretty nice, but it was done with a magic marker on a glossy surface, so parts of it are a bit thin/see through. When I searched out these types of cards on-line (they are extremely hard to find), it seems they each look this same way, but the signature on this one is much, much stronger than the others I was able to see.

Check out the large scan and LMK if you have any questions.

If you have nothing off of my need list, I am also very interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in exmt or better shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• T-206's
• 1962 Topps 'green tints' graded 7, 8 and higher
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
