This great looking cards of a smiling Mays leaves me with 2 higher numbered cards to finish the team set. Those are proving fairly tough to track down. The signature on this card is very different from his current signature, I wonder if this is a fake of if his auto just evolved. Great pick up and a pretty high ranking, what do the top 2 have in store?
Prior cards in the countdown:
#8 - 1962 Topps Frank Robinson All Star
#7 - 1962 Topps Juan Marichal
#6 - 1958 Topps Eddie Mathews
#5 - 1963 Topps Orlando Cepeda
#4 - 1958 Topps Ernie Banks All Star
What a classic! I've always been under the impression they took the signatures off the player's contracts.
ReplyDeleteNice pick-up Adam, and in great shape too!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the auto - looks nothing like what I have seen from Mays. I see that a lot with older Topps 'feaux autos'.
