Assembled over a 40+ year collection, these letters, photos, and notes were sent to Neil Haines, a man that dedicated his life to football. He served as coach, referee, and even drove Dan Marino as a bus driver for the University of Pittsburgh team. Offered for consideration is a collection of 150+ documents collected by Haines. Each has been examined by the expert staff of MEARS to determine they were hand signed and not secretarial or auto pen.
