Lot Description
A George Trafton and Charlie Berry Dual Signed Autograph Photo (PSA Certified)
Exceedingly rare signature pairing of two NFL pioneers. George Trafton was born in Chicago and was an original member of the Decatur Staleys, and would go on to be an All Pro and member of the NFL's All 1920s team, as well as the Top 100 Bears. Trafton was among the first players ever elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also signed by former Pottsville Maroon player Charlie Berry, who went on to lead the NFL in scoring in 1925. Berry also starred as a Major League Baseball player from 1925-1938. Trafton recounted the game shown on the back of the photo.
