 Lot 182. Autograph of Curtis Martin, Future Football Hall of Famer, on an OAL Baseball. Martin retired after the 2005 seasons as the NFL’s fourth all-time leading rusher. He was chosen for the Pro Bowl five times and was an All-Pro first team selection in 2001 and 2004. The NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1995, he gained at least 1,000 yards in 10 consecutive seasons. Snubbed by the NFL voters this year with some very good company, he seems certain to be chosen eventually. His signature is a gem mint 10 on the sweet spot of an nm-m OAL Budig baseball. He added his uniform number, and there appears to be a correction on the second number. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Minimum Bid $20.

Following a year at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, he again led the league in rushing, this time with the Detroit Lions. He played one more NFL season before entering the U.S. Navy in World War II.
