Dallas Cowboys/Autopgraph

Expert: Fred Goodwin - 12/10/2008


Question
Hi there, I bought an 8x10 picture of Jason Witten for my son-in-law who served in Iraq last year, and I promised him if he came back, I would give him my autograph mini Longhorns helmet that was autographed by the offensive line of 2005 Longhorns. Sorry to say, I cannot part with it and wanted to know if there was anyway possible I could get the picture I bought autographed by Jason Witten. I would like to give my son-in-law this picture for Christmas.  Thanks

Answer
Leo:

Wow, sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle.

I can't help you with the Witten autograph; all I can suggest is that you contact the Cowboys and let them know its for a returning Iraq veteran.  You can reach the Cowboys at:

Dallas Cowboys
One Cowboys Parkway
Irving, TX  75063

972-556-9900

Needless to say, your odds of getting this done by Christmas are slim;  good luck, and Merry Christmas.

Expertise

My particular expertise is Dallas Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 300 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.

Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!

Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.

Experience

I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (approx. 300 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.
