I got this item a while back. It is a bull fight ticket encased in Lucite with a signature on the back.
It was suggested to me that the signature may have been from Antonio Ordóñez Araujo. I didn't see that the signature on the ticket could be construed as an a "Antonio Ordonez Araujo" signature, so I went to the web.
I was able to make contact with a bullfighting expert in Spain, and he told me the following:
"It looks to me like 'Dámaso' (complete with the accent mark on the first 'a'). This would be Dámaso González, a matador from Albacete who was very popular in Valencia and often performed there. I checked the carteles for March 18, 1980, and found that, in effect, Dámaso was on the card that day: Paquirri, Dámaso González, José María Manzanares (padre), in that order."
I think that solves it. Let me know if you are interested in buying it.
