Autograph Help

griffan15 · 07-31-2025, 03:31 PM

I have this helmet that contains 30 NFL QB autographs and I have no clue who these 3 players are and any help would be wonderful.

It's certified by Beckett, but the cert just states "Notable signatures include Archie Manning, Jim Plunkett, and HOF inductees Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson, YA Tittle, George Blanda and Otto Graham.

So far, I've identified the following (to give you an idea of the era):

1. Jim Hart
2. Dan Pastorini
3. Y.A. Tittle
4. Sonny Jurgensen
5. George Blanda
6. Craig Morton
7. Earl Morrall
8. Norm Snead
9. Joe Theisaman
10. Roman Gabriel
11. Lynn Dickey
12. Vince Ferragamo
13. Gary Huff
14. Doug Williams
15. Bert Jones
16. Charley Johnson
17. Archie Manning
18. Steve Grogan
19. Jim Plunkett
20. James Harris
21. Ken Anderson
22. Len Dawson
23. Bill Wade
24. Daryle Lamonica
25. Otto Graham
26. Joe Ferguson
27. Johnny Unitas

Here are the autos in question. In the first pic, I believe there's 2 separate autos.

One could be Charlie Conerly? New York Giants

Looks like a solid guess. There's a 1961 Fleer Conerly on ebay that looks like it could be close. The rest of his autos are much different.

Yeah my guess would be the limited space on the ball was a factor in how he signed it?

Seems to fit into the theme of the ball (NFL QBs of that era)
