Marco Simoncelli 20/01/1987 - 23/10/2011
One of the greatest privileges about our business is the people we get to meet. At the top of that list
is a very small elite group that includes Marco Simoncelli. He was the reason we so looked forward to Moto GP weekends, he was the person we sought out to wish good luck to before practice, qualifying and the race. His was the name we searched the timing sheets for. As I write this I cannot believe that he has gone and that we won't see him again. How I wish it wasn't so.
Ciao Marco, we were so lucky to have met you, you will never be forgotten.
November 2011
Marco Simoncelli signed photographs .. many thanks to all customers old and new who have enquired about purchasing signed photographs of Marco. The level of interest has been
truly amazing. As is company policy all signed items by Marco were withdrawn from sale upon his very sad passing. In the future items that are signed by Marco and obtained by us will only be offered for sale in conjunction with a charitable donation in Marco's name to a worthy charity/foundation. We are waiting on news of the Simoncelli family starting a foundation in Marco's name so more news to follow.
Sadly in
these situations individuals of a certain nature surface, orders were placed within two hours of Marco's passing being announced for all items we had listed on our website. In some cases individuals wanted multiple items. Marco's passing was widely confirmed on the internet at 9.06 GMT, listed below are a list of times that items were purchased.
9.39 GMT .. Australia
9.44 GMT .. Australia
9.45 GMT ..Australia
9.47 GMT .. Australia
9.50 GMT .. England
10.03 GMT .. England
10.03 GMT .. England
10.07 GMT .. England
10.08 GMT .. England
10.16 GMT .. Australia
10.17 GMT .. Australia
10.18 GMT .. Australia
Make your own mind up on this, genuine collectors who wanted a memento of a great rider or ghoulish profiteers acting in shamefully bad taste.
I know which one I think.
