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 25+ 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. Due to the size of this lot, JSA has not evaluated the documents, but MEARS is confident as to their source and originality. The majority of this collection contains vintage signature of the athlete on period original photography. Photos vary between 5x7 and 8x10. Included are:
