Long-time sports editor of LOOK magazine Tim Cohane was also a friend of coaching legend Vince Lombardi, and this lot attests to that friendship. Featured is a beautiful 57x63" green and yellow Bertrand's blanket with Cohane's name embroidered on a yellow patch, gifted after one of Lombardi's many championship seasons. Also included is a signed and personalized copy of Lombardi's book (PSA authenticated), Run to Daylight, dated 12/16/63; a scrapbook that includes a 1965 personal letter from the coach on Packers' stationery; and a pair of framed photos featuring the Fordham University "Seven Blocks of Granite," a phrase coined by Cohane regarding the Rams' offensive line of the 1930s, which included Lombardi.
