any upcoming willie mays private signing events?

[highgradelegends]

I know he was on the show circuit often in the 1980s and 1990s, but has stayed away from public signings in the 2000s. Just curious if anyone here is aware of when his next private signing might be and how to submit cards for it? Please let me know. thank you.

He used to do one signing a year at a restaurant near Giants spring training (Don and Charlie's was the name, I think?) and that was always a train wreck. He hasn't signed there in a couple of years, and now that place has closed down. If you're on SCN, there were a few members who tried to set up signings with him over the years, and his people would always find an excuse to make it fall through. There is a member over there who got him IP a couple of years ago, which is the most recent one I've seen, and his signature is a mess. He's almost completely blind at this point, and wasn't particularly careful even when he could see. I spent the better part of a year trying to find a signing to no avail, then I picked up a vintage signature of his for a fraction of what he had been charging at his last signings.

He’s done signing at this point. He’s basically blind.

Unfortunately, it's about 99% certain that Mays will never do another private/public signing.
