Offered here is one of the most extraordinary Pro Football Hall of Fame signed items we have ever handled: a book signed on the interior by 112 different Hall of Fame players, including Joe Namath twice. The hardbound book, Pro Football's Heroes of the Hall (The Sporting News, St. Louis, 2003), features photos and biographies of each Hall of Fame member at the time of publishing, with each player receiving either a full-page or half-page spread. All the signatures featured within have been flawlessly signed in either blue or black Sharpie (grading 10/10) on the player's respective page, with many also including the player's Hall of Fame induction year. This book was a labor of love for the original owner, who spent countless hours and a tremendous amount of money attending signing shows over the span of a decade to obtain the 112 signatures. Included are his signing-show tickets for fifty-six of the players represented here (just half of the total), which cost him a total of $3,076! Obviously, the cost would be much more if one tried to duplicate this book today, if it were even possible (some of the players who have signed are now deceased). The 399-page leather-bound book (9.25x11.5") remains in Excellent to Mint condition. 

The 112 Hall of Fame signatures featured in the book are those of Adderley, Allen, Alworth, Barney, Bednarik, Bobby Bell, Berry, Bethea, Biletnikoff, Blanda, Blount, Bradshaw, Jim Brown, Willie Brown, Buoniconti, Butkus, Campbell, Casper, Csonka, Willie Davis, Dawson, DeLamielleure, Dickerson, Ditka, Donovan, Dorsett, Dudley, Fouts, Gifford, Grant, Greene, Gregg, Griese, Ham, Hampton, Hannah, Harris, Haynes, Hendricks, Hornung, Houston, Huff, Jimmy Johnson, Joiner, Deacon Jones, Stan Jones, Jurgensen, Jim Kelly, Leroy Kelly, Krause, Lambert, Langer, Lanier, Largent, Lary, Lavelli, Levy, Lilly, Little, Lofton, Long, Lott, Mack, Mackey, Marchetti, Maynard, McCormack, McDonald, McElhenny, Mitchell, Montana, Moore, Namath (twice), Newsome, Noll, Olsen, Otto, Perry, Pihos, Renfro, Riggins, St. Clair, Sayers, Selmon, Shaw, Shell, Shula, Simpson, Singletary, Slater, Smith, Stallworth, Staubach, Stenerud, Stephenson, Swann, Tarkenton, Charley Taylor, Jim Taylor, Lawrence Taylor, Tittle, Trippi, Warfield, Randy White, Wilcox, Willis, Larrry Wilson, Winslow, Wood, Yary, and Youngblood.
