Founding owner (1887-1959) of the New York Giants, who led the franchise to three NFL championships and eight divisional titles, and helped to solidify the popularity of the National Football League over upstart rivals. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of its charter class in 1963. Excessively rare TLS signed “Tim Mara,” one page, 8.5 x 11, New York Football Giants letterhead, October 9, 1947. Letter to actress Corinne Griffith, the wife of Washington Redskins owner George P. Marshall, in full: "Just a line to thank you for your kindness in sending me the autographed copy of 'My Life With The Redskins.' I enjoyed reading it very much, and think you did a wonderful job." In fine condition, with a vertical diagonal crease to the right, and two faint lines of envelope-related toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mara's autograph is virtually unobtainable in any form, and is a must have for any complete Football Hall of Fame collection. This letter boasts a special significance as it references a fellow owner, George P. Marshall, and a division rival, the Washington Redskins. A marvelous piece of correspondence connecting two important NFL franchises. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and Beckett Authentication.
