John Matuszak's Super Bowl Trophy
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Vince Lombardi Super Bowl XI trophy given to defensive lineman John Matuszak of the Oakland Raiders, for their first Super Bowl win in 1977 against the Minnesota Vikings. Silver-plated trophy was ordered by Raiders owner Al Davis for each of his players, the first time Vince Lombardi replica trophies had been given to individual team members. A small handful of owners have since followed Davis' example, making these player trophies exceedingly rare, even more so one owned by standout player John Matuszak. This trophy made by R.S. Owens & Co. is the three-quartered size version of the Tiffany made Vince Lombardi trophy (the larger of the two), and measures 18'' tall, situated on a triangular base measuring about 9'' on each side. Engraved upon the column reads, ''Vince Lombardi Trophy / [NFL logo] / Super Bowl XI / AFC vs NFC''. Upon the base is an engraved silver plate which reads, ''The Oakland Raiders / World Champions / John Matuszak / Oakland 32 - Minnesota 14 / January 9, 1977''. In very good condition with only some cleaning needed to the silver plating. Trophy accompanied by certificate of authenticity by Matuszak's sister. An impressive tribute to John Matuszak and the Oakland Raiders.
