I don't think Mays did that inscription, just look at the pressure of the pen, two different hands

I have to disagree. As others have mentioned, I think this is an example where they took an 'old' autograph and him Willie add the inscription to increase the value recently. Willie's 81 with terrible vision so I'm not surprised that his sig and inscription look vastly different.

Good point, but would they go through the trouble of maybe paying to just have that inscription since he charges out of the a$$

So here's a recent auto that looks appropriate for a man of his age and condition, but looks nothing like the Say Hey hologram ones.

Just putting it out there.
