I had a question about the Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Awards.
I have been following the recent Lelands Auction with the 1987 Dawson SSA, and can't believe how much it sold for.
Aside from this however, I noticed that this award had the Louisville Center Logo engraved in it. This is the first award that I have noticed this on, during this time period.
I have seen a 1985 Dave Parker, 1985 Jack Clark, 1987 Jack Clark, and 1993 Lenny Dykstra awards sold recently, and noted that none of them had the center logo engraved. In all of these cases I believe that they are legitimate, and just wondered if anyone had knowledge on why the Dawson award is different?
The only things I could think of is maybe because he was the 1987 MVP, his award was different/premium, players may have had a choice, (plain or engraved), or Dawson had this done at a later time to make it custom?
I would appreciate hearing anyone else's thoughts or insight on this...
Thanks,
