Why You NEED to INVEST In WILLIE MAYS Autographs RIGHT NOW + How To Spot FAKES! | PSM
Willie Mays is an iconic baseball player. I don't have to tell you that. But let's run through some quick stats.
24 x All-Star, 12 x Gold Glove winner, 2 NL MVP, 1979 Hall of Fame, and a World Series Champion.
Not to mention he hit 660 home runs.
As of this writing, Mays is 89 years old and of course has stopped signing autographs. Very few authentic autographs remain.
So we know Mays is a great player and an autograph that needs to be in our collection.
What do we get signed?
1st, let's talk authentication. Authenticity when it comes to autographs is paramount.
When shopping for your Willie Mays autograph you may notice items that have this "SAY HEY" hologram on there. 
Sounds legit right? It is Willie Mays' personal authenticity hologram. Has to be real!
Slow down there. Many of these holograms have been copied and the autographs are not real in my opinion. Who sells an authentic Willie Mays signed photo for $50? That should be your big red flag right there.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from autographs with the Say Hey hologram.
My suggestion is to buy items without the Say Hey hologram (not with, but without), that are authenticated by JSA, PSA/DNA, or Beckett Authentication (BAS), preferably recently.
One other thing to note, but the Mays style autograph that has a ton of "flair" to it. Meaning it isn't short and block style like those Mays Say Hey hologram items. Should have a nice big W and a big M with lots of movement and no consistency.
Now that we got that out of the way, what should you get?
Stick to autographed baseballs. This is the most popular item among baseball collectors, tend to be rather inexpensive, and do not take up much space. Very easy to display.
"The Catch" photo is probably Mays' most popular item to get signed, but 99% of these have that Say Hey hologram. Last I checked a legit one of these had a $400 asking price.
Don't sleep on the other high quality photos of Mays either. There are iconic images with Mickey Mantle and other Hall of Fame players available.
Bats and jerseys are also highly sought after but carry a hefty price tag ($1500 + for jerseys). If getting a jersey, be sure it is an officially licensed one. No point in getting one of baseball's best players on a cheap custom jersey.
If you have questions on Mays feel free to reach out.

Nice autograph by Cal Ripken Jr. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Nice autograph. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
I've had this card since the age of 12. Never had the opportunity until now to get his RC signed. Thanks Matt for making this happen!!
Once again, Matt and his team delivered a smooth, professional experience in obtaining a Dustin Pedroia autograph (with authentication) to a book already containing a number of Red Sox greats’ signatures. I recommend Powers Spirts Memorabilia highly.
Great experience. Card was just as described. Excited to have this added to the collection.

Fernando Tatis Jr 2019 Topps Baseball Rookie Card RC #410 Graded PSA 9 MINT
😍 such a nice autograph! Thank you!
Thank you for another awesome autograph!
Mr. Powers delivered on my request for this Cal Ripken jr. autograph. It was a nice size clean and perfect signature better than I expected. Mr. Powers team is quick to respond with any concerns you may have and keeps you posted on your item. I will absolutely be getting more signatures through them to finish my collection. I highly recommend Powers Sports to anyone that has any doubts. I use to do send ins with Steiner sports until he sold, to me Powers picked up where they left off and I couldnt be happier. Thank you
Great experience as usual! I’ll definitely be getting more autographs in the future!!

Great job by Powers Sports once again! They were able to secure a great signature from Andy Reid on my trading card, using the exact type pen and the exact location that I requested. Accuracy and quality are their top priority!

Awesome experience as usual!
Great experience! I had never gotten any autographs through a signing like this before and I had a number of questions. Someone called me right back & couldn’t have been nicer. The customer service was outstanding every step of the way & I couldn’t be happier with the Reggie Jackson autographed ticket.

I have a baseball signed by Willie Mays that I got by saving 3M tape inserts out of tape box’s in plastic 2 piece dome on wooden stand. Any value?
