This lot includes three different original Pro Football Hall of Fame translite displays honoring three important men who were all visionaries of the hard-hitting game we all watch on Sundays in the fall: Jimmy Conzelman(inducted in 1964); Charles Bidwell Sr. (inducted in 1967); and Ray Flaherty(inducted in 1976). Each of the three translite displays measure 24” wide by 32”tall and one-half-inch thick and honor the inductees via thoughtful illustrations sketched by artist Gary Thomas showing the men at different phases of their respective careers. Each of these football geniuses were players as well as coaches during their gridiron tenures and earned their rightful places in Canton based on their never-ending love of the game.

Anyone who has visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the past 40 years or even has simply watched the annual induction ceremony on TV will immediately recognize these translite portraits as an integral part of Canton’s enshrinement displays. A constant companion to the Hall of Fame’s prestigious busts translites are showcased on an easel at induction ceremonies and then along with their respective bust become the official symbolic representation of that legend’s elite legacy. Thus each and every one of these rare translites is an intimate historical artifact of great personal significance to the life of its gridiron great. What’s more seldom if ever do opportunities arise to own collectibles that once resided in the hallowed halls of Canton! These are literally museum quality pieces.
