1936 American Football League Broadside
<B>1936 American Football League Broadside.</B></I> Don't let the name fool you--this is not the same AFL that merged with the NFL in 1970. The League from which this amazing artifact was spawned disbanded almost seven decades ago after just two seasons of activity, with only the Cleveland Rams living on to eventually find its way into the modern NFL with a home in St. Louis. The rest of the teams, including the Rams' opponents that day, the Syracuse Braves, quickly disappeared into obscurity. The same can surely be said of almost all artifacts related to this blip on the radar screen of football history, making this large (21x27") and colorful cardboard broadside tremendously scarce and desirable. Surface and edge wear is minimal considering the circumstances, and the bold visual effect is not diminished in any regard by these factors. The display value is augmented with a simple frame that expands the final dimensions to 26.5x33". <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
