Description
1960 Green Bay Packers Team Signed Yearbook - With Lombardi, Vainisi, Etc. It goes without argument that head coach Vince Lombardi is one of the most influential men in the football world. In fact, even if you're not an avid fan of America's game you are still most likely aware of Lombardi's countless contributions to the National Football League. That said, it takes a real die-hard gridiron guru to understand the real significance of former Green Bay Packers scout Jack Vainisi.You won't find him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, you will likely never hear his name mentioned on Sportscenter and there isn't even a Wikipedia page for him, but make no mistake - Vainisi was ahead of his time and was instrumental in drafting Hall of Famers Forrest Gregg, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, Jim Ringo, Ray Nitschke and Dave Robinson. In addition, Jack helped acquire Lombardi from his assistant coaching position in New York in 1959.
Offered here is a true piece of Titletown history - the inaugural Green Bay Packers yearbook signed by the 1960 Western Division champion squad. Featuring all the keys such as Lombardi, Ringo, Kramer, Gregg, Starr, Davis, Wood, Taylor, Nitschke, Jordan, McGee, Hornung and others, the real treasure on this NM (unscored) publication is a Mint exemplar from Jack Vainisi, who died of a heart attack at 33 years old, the same year he signed the yearbook. Showcasing an average of 9/10 quality blue ball-point signatures throughout, the exemplars were obtained from a flight attendant who befriended Packers players on numerous road trips during the team's glory years of the 60's. An absolutely key piece that will even make the most discerning Packers collectors' heads turn. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.
