This lot features the 1964 Philadelphia Play Of The Year, Tom Landry #56 SGC 86 - NM+ 7.5!
The Cowboys under Landry had their first winning season and their first NFL Eastern Conference championship in 1966. They didn't fall below .500 again until 1986. During that period, Landry's teams had 20 straight winning seasons, 13 divisional championship, five NFC titles and victories in Super Bowls VI and XII. The Cowboys also played in Super Bowls V, X and XIII.
His regular season career record is 250-162-6 and his record counting playoffs is 270-178-6. Only Halas and Don Shula top his 270 career wins. Landry gained a reputation as a great technical innovator, as well as an inspirational leader. He introduced the "flex defense" and "multiple offense" in the 1960s. In the 1970s, he restructured the "shotgun" or "spread" offense and, in the 1980s, he embraced and helped develop the "situation substitution" concept of handling his player talent.
Here’s a great-looking example of his 1964 card. This one has 4 solid corners, wonderfully defined borders and a nice clean surface that features sharp color and focus. Add a clean back and near perfect centering and you have the formula to a hi-end example from this pitching great. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. Buyer adds 2.50 ship insured.
