Robert J. Lerma has gathered original signatures from some of the best pitmasters in the state. They are collected onto an image of an aged Bar-B-Q sign in Corsicana, Texas that he photographed last year. He has sold a number of the originals, but there is only one left. He has started an auction for the last one in the series with all proceeds to benefit the Warrior Dog Foundation.
The bidding is currently at $700. If you’d like to place your bid, you can contact Robert at:
