| This auction is for a VINTAGE signed Government Postcard of Former NFL HALL OF FAME PLAYER LOU GROZA. While renowned for his kicking ability, Groza also played and started during most of his career as offensive tackle for the Browns. He was very proficient at both positions, named nine times to the NFL Pro Bowl and was All-NFL tackle six times. Groza also led the NFL in field goals in 1950, 1952-54, and 1957. In 1950, his field goal with 30 seconds left won the NFL Championship Game. In 1957, he also co-led the NFL in scoring. He was named the Sporting News' NFL Player of the Year in 1954. However, he played exclusively as a kicker during his second stint with the Browns. Groza was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974. His number 76 is retired by the Browns. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission established the Lou Groza Award in 1992, an award given to the best NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) kicker. In 1999, he was ranked number 99 on 100 Greatest Football Players. The Browns' training facility in Berea, Ohio is located at 76 Lou Groza Boulevard. Passed away in 2000. This is a Vintage Government Postcard from the early 1970's though for some reason it was never postmarked. This card originates from a recently purchased comprehensive collection of football autographs. Some incredible rarities included in this collection. Most were moutned into an album at one point, which is the origin of the orange spots you might see on the back. These cannot be seen on the front and are just a slight amount of the album backing on the back. Does not effect the signature in any way. This signature has been certified by PSA/DNA, the premier autograph authentication company in the world. Their authentication is accepted and used by all the major auction houses and is an eBay approved authenticator. Slabbed in one of their popular holders. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS, I COMBINE SHIPPING. |
