1959 Vince Lombardi Check. PSA 9 Green Bay Packers Autograph Display. PSA Mint 9
This check stands out because it was written early in Vince Lombardi's legendary coaching career with the Green Bay Packers. Lombardi officially signed on as head coach on February 2, 1959, and his first season as head coach was the 1959 season. Dated April 14, 1959, it was made payable to a moving and storage company shortly after he took the job. Likely a partial payment for his relocation expenses from the New York area to Wisconsin, this check was drawn on the Packers’ account and printed on an official team check. It features a flawless example of Lombardi's autograph, graded PSA Mint 9, and is co-signed by Dominic Olejniczak (1908-1989), the Packers' president, who served an impressive 24 years—the longest tenure in team history. What makes this check even more significant is that Lombardi, in addition to his role as head coach, was also serving as general manager at the time, making this one of the very first checks he signed in that dual capacity.
Vince Lombardi (1913-1969), one of the legendary "Seven Blocks of Granite" from Fordham University and later the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants at West Point, had a relatively short life, passing away at just 57 years old. As a result, his autograph is quite rare and highly sought after. Even more significant, Lombardi's signature has become one of the most coveted in sports history, as every Super Bowl trophy bears his name. The Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the winner of the most famous and widely viewed game in sports, is a lasting tribute to his legendary coaching legacy.
To say that Vince Lombardi is a football icon would truly be a gross understatement. His impact on the game transcends mere coaching—he shaped the very essence of leadership, discipline, and success in the NFL. Lombardi's legacy lives on not just through his Super Bowl victories and the trophy that bears his name, but through the values and standards he instilled in the players and teams he led. He remains a symbol of excellence, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of greatness in sports.
Every serious sports fan should consider owning a Vince Lombardi autograph. As one of the most respected figures in football history, Lombardi’s signature carries significant value, representing not only his success as a coach but his lasting impact on the game. Whether you're a Packers fan or simply appreciate the history of football, owning a piece of Lombardi's legacy is a meaningful addition to any collection.
This autographed check comes beautifully displayed under archival mylar and ultraviolet-protected plexiglass, housed in a handsome frame with double matting to preserve its integrity for years to come. It also includes the letter of authenticity for Psa/Dna. It’s ready for you to showcase on your favorite wall, making it a standout piece in any collection!
