Description: Among the greatest finds of AFL autographs in history and one-of-a-kind.  This unique original thick stock glossy Type 1 photograph from the archive of Charles AquaViva (designed 11363-35, All-Star on back) depicts all of the officials for the January 13, 1963 Second Annual American Football League All-Star game which was played at Balboa Stadium in San Diego, California, home of the San Diego Chargers, the 1963 AFL Champions.

Charles Aqua Viva was the San Diego Chargers team photographer and his images regularly appeared in NFL publications as well as newspapers such as the San Diego Union-Times.  Here he fabulously captured the following individuals, each of which has neatly signed their names on their pant legs (left to right) in blue ballpoint pen ink.

Thurlo McCrady (Assistant Commissioner of the AFL from 1959-1967 & Executive Director of the ABA or American Basketball Association from 1967 to 1976) Autographed on his left pants perfectly against a dark background so the contrast is imperceptible in a scan.  The greatest outlaw league administrator of all-time and maybe the only known signed photograph of this future Hall of Fame member.

Frank Rustich (AFL Referee and Field Judge 1961-1968, NFL Official & Boxing Referee including 1973 Muhammad Ali & Ken Norton Fight) Autographed on his left pant leg “Rustich”

Ben Dreith (AFL Field Judge and Referee 1960-1969 & colorful NFL Official) Autographed on his right pant leg

Clyde Devine (AFL Umpire, AAFC or All American Football Conference & NFL Official) Autographed on his left pant leg

Elvin Hutchinson (AFL Head Linesman 1960-1969) Autographed on both pant legs

John McDonough (AFL Referee 1960-1969 & NFL Official including Super Bowls) Autographed on left pant leg.
