Woodford Derby Bottle: Signed by Artist available

[DerbyCat]

I have several of the 2009 Woodford Reserve commemorative Kentucky Derby bottles that the bottles artist, former jockey Tom Chapman, is going to sign to benefit GEVA, the equine retirement facility where my retired racehorse, Nopie, is residing. I have purchased the bottles and Tom has agreed to personally sign them, with ALL proceeds going to GEVA. I was going to sell them on ebay but wanted to give the members of DerbyTrail first chance at them at a reasonable price.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these personally signed bottles, please send me a PM. Unless you specify otherwise, Tom will sign each bottle (with a gold pen):

To "your name here"
Best Wishes
Tom Chapman

For full disclosure, each bottle costs me about $43 so I am asking $100 plus shipping costs (about $20+/-, I’ll only charge you what USPS charges me). As I stated, ALL proceed will go to GEVA, including my per bottle cost – If I sell all ten bottles I have then GEVA gets $1,000. If there is a great demand for this then I will look at purchasing more bottles. And obviously, if you would like to pay more to support GEVA, I certainly won’t complain

Finally, this post has been approved by Steve and supported completely by Tom Chapman and GEVA. I will be taking the bottles to Tom to be signed later this week so let me know by Wednesday afternoon if you're interested.

Thank you!

I have a couple signed bottles left for anyone interested, just send me a PM. Woodford only produces 30,000 of these commemorative bottles and to date, Tom hasn't signed any bottles other than mine (he won't be signing at any Derby related events, the First Saturday in May is his wedding anniversary so his wife decides what he gets to do that weekend ).

Also, Tom has giclée prints available of the bottle art, titled "Close Quarters, Derby Day". There are only 200 of these 10" x 20" prints available and all are individually numbered. Woodford has 100 of them and Tom has the other hundred. Here's a link to Tom's web site with info on his prints: Chapman Arts
