Lawrence Taylor...Joe Montana...Joe Namath...names that ring immortal in the modern era of professional football. This is a collection of five pieces, each individually signed by a legendary NFL Hall of Famer. The first is a Riddell NY Giants helmet with linebacker's cage, size Large 7-1/4 - 7-3/4, unused with all labeling and chin strap intact, signed in silver across the left top by Lawrence Taylor (1999). Second is a Wilson Official NFL football (Tagliabue commissioner), signed in silver on the bottom panel by the leader of the Super Bowl III champion Jets, Joe Namath (1985). Third is a Wilson tan and white football, signed on the white panel in blue ink by the controversial O.J. Simpson (1985). Finally, there are two pieces signed by great 49ers quarterback Joe Montana (2000), who along with Johnny Unitas, is considered to be the greatest of all time. They are a Wilson Official NFL football (Tagliabue commissioner), signed in silver on the bottom panel, and a Wilson size 44 49ers jersey, all stitched on, signed in black marker on the back number "1." The signatures average a grade of 8-9, and come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
