I received this print a couple days ago but forgot to mention it in my post.
Billy Williams signed his Grand Slam print at a mail-in signing. He signed right where I asked (via sticky notes).
I wish I knew how large a player was going to sign before requesting a location. If he had signed this in the size he would sign a card, it might have gotten lost in the picture. On a couple of these, I've asked the player to sign in the white area to one side, and they signed very large so just the end of their signature overlapped the image. Had I known, I would have requested that they sign across the body.
For example,
Billy Williams is a pretty streaky/spotty signer through the mail. He has a 71% success rate on SCN. It appears that if he isn't going to sign, he will RTS the letter, so you won't lose your card(s) or money. There is no set fee, but $20 per card seems to work. I am 1 for 2 with him. In 2024, I received my money and card back, but the card got pretty beat up in the mail.
I tried again in March of this year, and he signed a 1963 Topps for $20 in a little under two months. I don't think I'm missing him in any of the sets I am serious about, but I may try to find a card from the 60's that I like, and give him another shot.
