Description
1950s -- 60s Ernie Stautner Document Archive. Lot of 3 Though considered too small by many football scouts who considered the Boston College lineman, the Pittsburgh Steelers took a risk that paid dividends for many seasons to come when they drafted Stautner in the second round of the 1950 draft. His gridiron exploits earned Stautner a much-deserved plaque at Canton, and have supplied this auction with three exciting pieces from his days in Steeltown. 1) 1952 Standard Players Contract. Document finalizes a salary of $6,500. for Stautner's services for the 1952 season. Signed at the close by Stautner in perfect blue ink. Contract is NRMT. 2) 1953 Pro Bowl Contract. Actually a contract and notification letter in one. It begins, "You have been selected as a member of the All-Star squad of the American Conference. This is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a player." It then goes on to detail hotel accommodations, equipment, and salary ($600 for winners, $500 for losers). Stautner's perfect blue ink signature at the close is his confirmation that he will accept the honor. Some staining to right edge of page does not affect any text, and otherwise contract and original mailing envelope are EX. Two other typed pages discussing other details of the game and Stautner's benefits are included, EX-MT. 3) 1962 typed letter on team letterhead, signed by Coach Bud Parker. He writes to Stautner, in part, "Raises in salary are wonderful when merited by play and availability. The more individuals that get raises, the better the team standing. Note our 1961 standing-6 Won, 8 Lost." Letter and signature are NRMT; original mailing envelope EX. LOAs from James Spence & Steve Grad/PSA DNA and Mike Gutierrez/MGA.Auction Info
