Davey Allison, Alan Kulwicki and Bill Elliot on Ford Poster

In 1991, I was a young engineer and race fan working at Ford. Every year they had the Ford sponsored NASCAR drivers come for an afternoon so that we could meet them and get autographs.

I didn't have lot of time, but managed to collect the signatures of three of my favorite drivers, Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison and Bill Elliott. They all signed on my Ford provided T-Bird poster (16-1/2" X 38"). I took it back to my desk and posted in in my cubicle where it hung for the next couple of years.

In 1993, after the death of first Alan Kulwicki and then Davey Allison, I said a prayer for Bill Elliott's safety and took my poster down.

Since then it has been kept rolled up and stored in a closet. It is certainly not pristine, but there are no actual tears and it doesn't appear to be faded at all. I know the signatures are authentic since I collected them myself, but I've never had anyone "certify" them.

Just wondering if they might be worth something now...
