RARE Vintage 1998 South Park Chef Watch ~ Personally Hand-Signed by Isaac Hayes
A very special piece from my personal collection and a wonderful piece of early South Park history.
This vintage 1998 South Park Chef wristwatch was personally hand-signed for me by Isaac Hayes, the legendary musician, actor and original voice of Chef on South Park.
THE STORY BEHIND THE AUTOGRAPH
I personally met Isaac Hayes while I was vending and selling Pokémon cards and collectibles at Columbus Circle / 59th Street in New York City.
During that encounter, Mr. Hayes personally signed this South Park watch and storage tin for me. He also signed my denim jacket, which I still own today.
The Isaac Hayes autograph appears on the brown watch strap, and the watch comes with its original South Park metal presentation/storage tin.
Isaac Hayes actually signed both the watch strap AND the metal tin, which would make this a double-signed set.
WATCH DETAILS
• Vintage 1998 South Park collectible• Features Chef, voiced by Isaac Hayes• Personally hand-signed by Isaac Hayes• Brown watch strap• Original South Park metal storage/presentation tin• Tin features Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan• TM & © 1998 Comedy Central markings• Protective plastic remains on the front and back of the watch• Watch has been preserved as part of my personal collection
CONDITION
The watch remains in very nice vintage collectible condition. The protective covering is still present on the front and back of the watch.
The back of the brown watch strap has some slight fraying/wear from age and storage, as shown in the photographs. The presentation tin may also show minor vintage storage wear.
The watch has not recently been tested for operation, so it is being sold primarily as a signed vintage collectible rather than as a guaranteed working timepiece (trying a new battery should work).
AUTOGRAPH / PROVENANCE
This autograph was obtained in person by me directly from Isaac Hayes. I am the original recipient of the autograph.
I also still possess a denim jacket that Isaac Hayes personally signed for me during the same encounter.
Please note: Although personally obtained, the autograph has not been submitted to PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett or another third-party authentication service.
I have been unable to locate another example of this exact 1998 South Park Chef watch personally signed by Isaac Hayes, making this an especially unusual piece for a serious South Park or Isaac Hayes collector.
Please review all photographs carefully for condition and autograph details.
A wonderful piece of South Park, Comedy Central, Isaac Hayes and 1990s pop-culture history from my personal collection.
