When is the Last time you saw one of these? Answer: NEVER! You are bidding on an incredibly Rare find. As seen in the picture, you are bidding on an Authentic 1994 ESPN ESPY Award Lithograph. This was not offered in stores, not sold to the public and not available to anyone except certain insiders at ESPN and high profile executives at ESPN.
Here's the story: My friend's sister worked for ESPN Travel and Events department back in 1994. She was in charge of coordinating the travel for all celebrities to this event and for their sleeping arrangements at the hotel where they staying at where the pre and post ESPY parties were located. She snuck my best friend and I into the parties and it was AWESOME! Sports Stars, Movie Stars, ESPN Sports Anchors and Famous people all over the place!!!!! We were told to just act like you belonged there and don't bother anyone or ask for any Autographs.......YEAH! Like we belonged there! It was so cool to watch all these famous people get drunk and act stupid. My favorite was watching Barry Bonds at night wearing sunglasses trying to act all cool and almost falling down the stairs....what an idiot!
Well, back to the Lithograph. They had a Master Copy Lithograph that was in the corner of the room at the Pre ESPY Award Party. Random people in the room would come over and sign it, but not everyone did. It was kind of tucked away in the corner and some people were not aware of it, but lots of stars did sign it. That Master Copy was then made into a certain number of Lithographs (Like this one) which were given to ESPN High level executives and important people, where they were framed and put in their offices.......But guess who was lucky enough to get a few????? Answer: Me!
One thing I do not know for sure is exactly how many were made, but I do know it was not many. I was told it was "Very Limited". Well there are exactly 50 Signatures on it. Some I can't make out, but here are the ones I can verify: Troy Aikman, Coach Buddy Ryan, Rosie Perez, John Michael Montgomery, Joe Carter, Salt and Pepa, Dennis Miller, Charlie Ward, Robin Roberts, Emmitt Smith, Kid N Play, Bob Costas, Danny Glover, Bob Uecker, Charlie Steiner, Sheryl Swoopes, Dick Vitale, Bobby Hurley, Jimmy Johnson, Chris Myers, Joe Theisman, Evander Holyfield, Delbert McClinton, Steve Palermo, Bob Ley, Jim Kelly, Michael J Fox, Mike Piazza, Matthew Broderick, Barry Bonds, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dan Patrick, Lawrence Taylor, Downtown Julie Brown, Chris Berman, MC Lyte, and John Coponera. That is 39 that I know off. I think Bill Cosby is another one, but I can not confirm that.
