Green Bay Packers History Appraisal

Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers Photograph with Facsimile Signatures

This item is a framed black and white photograph tribute to Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers era from 1959-1968. The upper portion of the print features a dynamic black and white photograph of Vince Lombardi, likely on a football field, wearing a distinctive long coat and hat, accompanied by other individuals in the background. The stadium seating with spectators is visible in the distance, conveying the atmosphere of a professional football game. Below the photograph, there is a block of text, presumably detailing aspects of Lombardi's career or the team's achievements during that period. Prominently displayed beneath the text are the words 'Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers 1959 - 1968'. Below this title, there are facsimile signatures of notable players from that era, each accompanied by their jersey number and name. Visible signatures include '#5 Paul Hornung', '#15 Bart Starr', '#31 Jim Taylor', '#75 Forrest Gregg', '#24 Willie Wood', '#26 Herb Adderley', '#66 Ray Nitschke', and '#87 Willie Davis'. The print is housed within a simple black frame, which appears to be made of painted wood or a similar material, with some minor scuffs visible. The item is displayed behind a clear protective layer, likely glass or acrylic, which shows some glare and reflections from the surrounding environment. The overall condition appears to be good for a vintage commemorative piece, with no immediately obvious tears or significant damage to the print itself, though some natural yellowing of the paper or fading of the print might be present due to age, which is not clearly discernible from the image. This piece serves as a historical sports memorabilia item, likely produced as a commemorative piece for fans of the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi's impactful tenure.
