I have at least one example with example with excellent provenance - I will look it out if no-one else pitches in.

As I remember, he usually writes at an angle. I probably would not buy this, myself.

It was part of a very nice private sports collection, acquired over the years by a senior sports administrator. I was only really interested in the tennis - got some nice ones - Borg, Martina Navratilova, Venus Williams, Federer, Djokovic and a few others.

2  x Martinas.

The Borg is not that great - biro on glossy paper but it's legible.
