Truly impressive best describes this inspiring collection of NFL Hall of Fame member autographs. Featured are (159) different 8x10 photos in average (NM to MT) condition, with signatures ranging (“7” to “10”) in quality. From “leatherheads” Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski and Bulldog Turner to classic quarterbacks Johnny Unitas, Fran Tarkenton and Bart Starr, to more recent heroes such as Joe Montana, Brett Farve and Jerry Rice, this amazing assortment covers a lot of ground. The great majority of photos in this glorious grouping are Pro Football Hall of Fame types printed with HOF logos, players names and enshrinement class dates and the balance are officially licensed photos. Neatly collected with plastic sleeves in a three-ring binder, this gem collection is covered by an auction LOA from JSA, though a good number are individually certified by PSA/DNA or other respected entities as noted below.
