Incredibly rare autograph of Herb Stein (1898–1980), former college and professional football player. Stein served as the University of Pittsburgh's center from 1918 until 1921 and is regarded as one of the team's greatest offensive and defensive centers. Stein was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1967. Stein made his professional debut in the NFL in 1922 with the Buffalo All-Americans and later played for the Toledo Maroons, Frankford Yellow Jackets, and the Pottsville Maroons over the course of his six-year career. Notably, Stein (and his brother, Russ) were members of the 1925 Pottsville Maroons team that won the disputed 1925 NFL Championship.
Mr. Stein applied a beautiful ballpoint signature to this index card, which is in mint condition with no wrinkles or creases. The collector has added information in pencil to the reverse. Believed to originate from the notable Roger Harris (of Rutland, VT) collection.
