March 2002

This was signed for me through a friend at the Penguin organization.  Unfortunately, I haven't been in touch with this friend for awhile, but the signature is definitely the real deal!
2 Mario Lemieux fake autographs...
June 2001 - I requested an autograph and specifically stated that if a stamp or autopen was my only option, please simply send the magazine back in my SASE.  Well, someone stamped the magazine, then "tried" to trace over it to make it look like a real autograph!  This ticked me off...
November 2004 - I tried again to request an autograph and I clearly stated that if a stamp or autopen was my only choice, to please send the magazine back.  This time they appeared to have just stamped it.  That's it, I'll quit trying to mail to Mario.
