One of our consignor's very favorite items among thousands, offered is a beautifully presented 1959 TLS from New York City icon Toots Shor (D'77). Written to New York Giants HOFer Charlie Conerly, the content discusses Unitas, Conerly and mentions other football players. The second to last paragraph is the key: Your freind, Lombardi, made a big step and I hope it is in the right direction as I know of your fondness for him. It is going to be a real tough job and on paper I can't see how they can have a good team for at least three to five years. It is a challenge to Vince and I hope he makes good. Shor is referring to Lombardi accepting the job as head coach of the Green Bay Packers and the rest, we shall say, is history! Beautifully matted and framed with 8x10 images of Shor and Conerly, the total size is 33x20. If you like truly special football items and/or are a big Packer or Giants fan, you will want to take a long look at this truly unique and wonderful letter. JSA LOA (full).
