davidcyclebackI've not seen such a trophy before.
I once had Dave Parker's Play Boy magazine All-Star award, a medallion. It came with a LOA from Parker.
I once sold a humanitarian medal given to Jackie Robinson by a small town Wisconsin medical association. The purchaser wrote to the association and a secretary not only confirmed that Robinson had received the award, but sent him a photo of Robinson receiving it.
Former husband and wife neighbors of mine got Ph.d.s in the 1960s from the University of California-Berkeley (where they met). I was browsing at their diplomas on the wall and noticed each was signed by the then Governor of California ... Ronald Reagan. I don't think either neighbor considered the signature of any special significance. I didn't form an opinion whether the signature was handwritten by Reagan or not, and doubt the couple would sell their diplomas anyway.
