Davy Jones lost the 1996 Indy 500 to Buddy Lazier by one of the smallest margins in the race's history:, .695 of a second. But the collection of 29 autographs on this Jones' unused helmet but championship level helmet takes the checkered flag on any day. Past 500 winners Arie Luyendyk, Al Unser Jr., Robbie Gordon, Scott Goodyaer, Gary Bettenhauser, Michael Andretti, Danny Sullivan, Emerson Fittipaldi, Eddie Cheever Jr. and Mario Andretti (simply "Mario") all signed, along with one of the few female drivers, Sarah Fisher. The original collector spelled out the drivers' names in block lettering below the autographs. Some of the sigs in black marker have a bit of smearing but are as dark as night. Indianapolis Motor Speedway decal with wings sprouting out of a wheel adds a spiffy touch.
