Today was a fun day to receive a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines from 1983 signed by Andre Dawson. Years ago I had gotten a pair of these signed by Hawk at a show. Both in black Sharpie. When I first started sending requests via the mail, I sent one to an address I thought was for Dave Stieb and never received it back. I found out later that the address I sent it to was to someone else who was purporting to be Stieb so that person enjoyed my SI, marker and donation. I kept the other one I had until Mr Stieb had a private signing. He eventually did and I sent in the remaining SI as well as three others and received them back signed beautifully. Today I received two of those signed by Mr Dawson. Andre has a beautiful signature and inked these up real nice. I will eventually send the remaining one to him but not for a while. Andre now owns a funeral home, yep, a funeral home, in Miami. Interesting career change!
