Description: Attention Football Fans - look no further for the perfect addition to your memorabilia or autograph collection! Rarely will you come across the autograph of a player of this magnitude. Bobby Layne (1926 - 1986) was an NFL quarterback known as one of the the first great passers and one of the last men to play without a facemask. Layne's records and accomplishments are too numerous to fit into a mini bio, but include: 6 x All-Pro, 6 x Pro-Bowl, 3 x NFL Championship, 2 x Passing Yards Leader, Passing Touchdowns Leader, Completion Percentage Leader, Scoring Leader, 1950s All-Decade Team, Pride of the Lions Inductee, Detroit Lions 75th Anniversary Team and All-Time Team, Lions Jersey No. (22) Retired, Pittsburgh Steelers Legends Team, Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor, Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame, 2 x All-American, 4 x All-SWC, Texas Longhorns Jersey No. (22) Retired, Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame, Cotton Bowl 1940s All-Decade Team, Longhorn Hall of Honor, Texas Sports Hall of Fame, College Football Hall of Fame, and Pro Football Hall of Fame (to name a few). By the time he retired he owned the NFL records for passing attempts (3,700), completions (1,814), touchdowns (196), and yards (26,768). He was additionally named the "Toughest Quarterback who Ever Lived" in a 1995 Special Issue of Sports Illustrated and in 1999 he was ranked No. 52 on the Sporting News' List of Football's 100 Greatest Players. That Layne's signature is atop the Jim Thorpe 20 cent stamp First Day Cover makes this autograph that much more special and rare. Already priced well below last year's average sales price and the current average active listing price, don't miss out on this very special opportunity. Bid now. Good Luck!
