Well, it may be a necessary evil these days but I'll tell you what... you give me an authenticated Willie Mays autographed ball with a dull, out of focused, smudged signature and I'll be one satisfied collector lol

That's a big difference though. Vintage signed baseball's, even faded ones, go for big bucks. In fact, the older the better. When someone buys a Mays auto on a modern card it's expected to be bold, beautiful and new. Your paying good money for it and it should be.
