1947 Northwestern v Michigan NAT CHAMPS Football Original Program UofM GD-

Description

This is a sale for a 100%
original Program
for
the
Michigan Wolverines at the Northwestern University Wildcats f
or the 1947 tilt.
This program is in
GOOD Minus
condition.
This PROGRAM is
INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT
for a multitude of reasons:
* Michigan went on to win the
1947 (and later 1948) National Championship!!!
* The program features 1947 and future All-Americans: Bob Chappuis (consensus), Bob Mann, Len Ford, Bruce Hilkene, Dominic Tomasi, JT White, Dick Kempthorn & Bump Elliott, etc (UM) and future AAs Alex Sarkisian & Art Murakowski (NW)
* Road game programs are always fun to grab and this is a very high grade. Be careful of Sellers who list "Near Mint for age" and similar descriptions. Condition is always against a program printed today, mint is mint.
Before I delve into the flaws, let me share the great things about the condition. The
original staples are solidly holding all pages including the
cover & center pages
. The
program is unscored with no writing too!!!!
And
all pages are accounted for
, a must!!!
The less than ideals are: the most noticeable is the coffee ring on the cover that follows the helmet outline and moves to the center as well as liquid soiling in the bottom left corner (this does not appear to persist to internal pages). Otherwise, other normal n
ormal surface/edge/spine wear and
handling soiling. Corners are rounded too. The inside pages are all of the same light cream color/aging. The back shows similar flaws.  This program is a road game for the National Champ season. Please see pix.
Note -
I have several other UofM tickets (full and stub) and programs available for sale.  And if you have a MI Football memorabilia wish list or have anything to sell/trade, please let me know. Happy to hunt for you.
Payment due no later than 3-days after auction closes. Will ship to continental U.S. (48-states) for listed price with Tracking. If you want full insurance, please inquire before paying.
Returns are welcome, but Bidder pays return shipping and return postage will need to have tracking - original shipping not refundable. I am happy to combine shipping to save you $ too if any other auctions appeal to your interests.
