Eddy Merckx, 1968 Paris-Roubaix, Personally Signed & Inscribed Photo

Original Signed & Inscribed Photograph

Convincing Eddy to sign a clean signature instead of a quick scrawl autograph is hard enough to achieve. Getting him to inscribe the year and race takes things up another level. A few years ago, we had some time left at the end of a litho signing and made the request to sign and race inscribe a handful of original photos. After he briefly sighed for dramatic effect, he asked what we had, looked the photos over, and said, “Sure. Let’s go.” We had 12 photos and each was unique. What should have taken perhaps 10 minutes ending up lasting more than half an hour as he had commentary for each photo.

There is precisely one example of each photo. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

Eddy Merckx, the winner of the 1968 Paris-Roubaix, is captured here in the Rainbow Jersey chatting with reporters.
