Ok, here is the story. I worked with Coldwell Banker Realtors here in Las Vegas back in '91. A co-worker and good friend
was a cousin of Kirby's and attended the World Series that year. He stayed with the Pucketts while there for the series.
His name, if you want to know, was Paul Dawkins. He, too, sadly has passed away of a heart attack at an early age as well.
I watched his business and covered for him while he was gone. When he came back he gave me this as a gift for taking
care of his clients, etc. This is signed by Kirby and was made to me (I'm the Bob). I don't know if it has any, or much,
value but I do know that there are Puckett fans out there and HOFer collectors out there. Just looking for some input for
now. Thanks in advance.

But, yeah, a cool piece for Twins collectors named Bob.
what's the deal with the black tracing (ie: part of the P in Puckett etc.)?

Looks like that ink was in a crease and was more protected from fading/moisture/etc.

Yes, just how it was folded and that's the way I got it, so didn't change it at all.

Not familiar with KP, but what happened that "he fell from grace"?

Thanks for sharing your tale and Hanky,

That is a cool piece, if you sold it on ebay it brings maybe $15. I would say get it framed and hang it in yur office.
