Be sure that your photo is hand signed, and not a facsimile signature. Picture pack photos are a very popular souvenir sold at all Major league Stadiums for years. They also feature a facsimile signature that is not hand signed but a copy. A preprint signature or a facsimile often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source.

A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss. For more information on Willie Mays signatures visit the link below.
