Monday, January 26, 2009
Items from Elway, Unitas, Sayers and Van Brocklin on the block
From the Sun Newspapers:
The great thing about the Super Bowl coming to your town is the opportunity to take part in the NFL Experience. One part of that experience is the opportunity to bring home a piece of...well...the NFL experience.
Hunt Auctions, in partnership with the NFL and NFL PLAYERS will conduct the annual Live Auction at NFL Experience in Tampa on Jan. 31.
The auction will feature more than 300 lots of football-related memorabilia spanning the game's early days through the current era.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to charities designated by the NFL, its players and participating NFL teams.
Highlights of the sale include:
* Johnny Unitas Baltimore Colts helmet c. 1960s (estimated value: $20,000-$30,000).
* Norm Van Broklin Los Angeles Rams helmet c. 1950s ($20K-25K)
* Gale Sayers Chicago Bears road jersey c. 1960s ($10K-15K)
* Early style leather "executioner-style" football helmet c. 1930s ($10K-15K)

The auction will take places at 1 p.m. on Jan. 31 within the card show tent at the NFL Experience, adjacent to Raymond James Stadium. There also will be silent auctions with more affordable items.
