This autograph is from the James Furner Collection, a wide array of sports, political, historical and entertainment industry signatures obtained by Mr. Furner over his lifetime and recently consigned to Love of the Game Auctions. Items from the Furner Collection are proudly presented throughout the auction.
Presented here is a boldly signed photo of football icon Vince Lombardi. The period black marker of Lombardi's special penmanship has been authenticated by PSA/DNA. Lombardi is best known for his glory years, 1959 to 1967, as Head Coach and General Manager of the Green Bay Packers. Under his watch the Packers won five NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls!
Sadly Lombardi passed away at just age 57 in 1970, so his stature in the game and early death make this legend's autograph especially desirable. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
