Curly Lambeau 1929 World Champion Green Bay Packers Trophy & Team Photo. Out of respect and fairness to everyone. Don’t wait till the last minute and get sniped! Check out a special message below about two one of a kind items I will be listing. Item was acquired from Mastro Auctions Dec. Curly Lambeau 1929 World Champion Green Bay Packers Trophy and Team Photo. Please feel free to read full description from the pictures. The term “amazing” has scarcely more accurately characterized such a sensational offering. A vestige of the very beginnings of professional football in the United States, this incredible, 1929 World Championship trophy harkens back to an era when the game was played without the promise of a six to seven figure salary, or any reliance on an endorsement deal. In fact, this marvelous item was awarded to coach Curly Lambeau and the Green Bay Packers for one reason- they simply wanted it moe than any other team. The evolution of the game has undoubtedly been a positive one, but surviving relics such as this tremendous item allow the true gridiron enthusiast to pridefully reserve, not only the memory of legacies such as that of Curly Lambeau and his Green Bay Packers, but of pro footballs humble beginnings as well. This Incredible Trophy belongs in the Packer Hall of Fame. My intention was to donate trophy and Vince Lombardi’s coat in my hubands name. But due to some circumstances beyond my control I’m unable too. Curly Lambeau Information From Pro Football Hall of Fame. Earl Curly Lambeau founded the Green Bay Packers in 1919 and was the team’s first playing star and its coach for 31 years. More than any other person, he is responsible for the existence today of the Packers’ unique small-town franchise. Curly played fullback as a Notre Dame freshman in 1918 before an illness forced him to leave school. Lambeau became the team’s coach and playing captain. Lambeau was the first pass-minded coach in the NFL and his teams were like their leader, impatient and explosive. An excellent passer in his own right, Curly flew in the face of common practice. Despite rules that made it difficult to use the forward pass, Lambeaus Packers were a team whose main offensive weapon was the pass at any time, on any down, from anywhere on the field. With his vaunted passing attack, he led the Packers to championships in 1929, 1930, and 1931. After signing future Hall of Fame receiver Don Hutson in 1935, they won three more titles. So advanced were Lambeaus coaching theories and Hutsons abilities that many of Hutsons records stood for four decades or more. After he retired as a player, Curly replaced himself with future Hall of Fame quarterback, Arnie Herber and later Cecil lsbell, and the Packers remained a powerhouse for almost three decades. A sometimes-hotheaded disciplinarian, Lambeau always got the most out of his players. Tackle Cal Hubbard, guard Mike Michalske, and halfback Johnny Blood McNally, were fine players who enjoyed Hall of Fame careers under Lambeau. Lambeau resigned from the Packers following the 1949 season and later coached the Chicago Cardinals and Washington Redskins. For many years his 229 career victories ranked second only to George Halas. My Late Husband & His Sports Collection. Next to Neil Armstrong, Brett Favre & Vince Lombardi were my husbands hero’s. My husband wished he could have met Brett and I always teased him that he loved Brett more than me. He told me on some days that was probably very true. Fortunately my husband got to see him play and went to both Super Bowls. Unfortunately he passed away before his dream of ever meeting him could come true. His dream of also taking me to see the Packers Play at Lambeau for my first time also never came true. But he was very proud he was able to take me to see the Packers play here in CA. Against the SD Chargers and WIN!! The year we got cheated out of going to the Super Bowl! My late husband was a huge collector of Green Bay Packers Memorabilia Go Pack Go! But has a few other Non-Packers items. He was a Packer Fan all the way to his last breath and watched them in the ICU with tubes in him. He spent years collecting these from various events, charities and auctions. Everything listed is authentic and had COA’s or providence of where it came from. The items I will be listing range from easy to get ie.. Signed pictures, pins etc.. to one of a kind and why are they not in the Packers Hall of Fame. Well I will answer that… I have reserves on many items so I don’t take a loss and what doesn’t sell I may keep or relist at another time. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK! I Consider All Sales Final with the Following Exceptions. PLEASE CONTACT ME SHOULD ANY OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS OCCUR. ABOUT ME AND MY PROMISE TO YOU. I lost my Husband, Best friend and Soulmate in December 2014. Both of us are guilty of collecting many things over the years, however he was a huge collector of many things from Sports, Movie Memorbilia, WWII, Aviation and his biggest pride and joy was NASA Space Memorbilia. This has not been and is not easy for me to do both phisically and emotionally. But unfortunately some really bad people came out of the woodwork and when someone dies, like sharks that smell blood in the water I was a perfect target. Thus, I must sell these items and just hope they go to good homes, museums or schools. So please be patient if you see those things change. Because my husbands collection is so large and I’m clueless to what most are, how they are or were used, it would take me forever to research & or make detailed descriptions. However, I will try and be accurate, but will also be short and sweet and to the point. So with that said, should something be incorrect or down right wrong with my descriptions or pictures, PLEASE PLEASE CONTACT ME and I will do my very best to correct it immediately! MY PROMISE TO YOU IS THAT I WILL DO MY BEST TO GIVE THE MOST ACCURATE & CORRECT DESCRIPTION & PICTURES. IN ALL OF MY AUCTIONS THAT I CAN HUMANLY DO!
