April 3, 2025: Spring Auction
Presented a virtually unimprovable example of the Hartland Football Johnny Unitas Statue, the very same one that marked the launch of the company’s football line barely a year after the inaugural five baseball statues were produced in 1958. As the preeminent NFL star at the time, Unitas was a natural choice to anchor the football series. The statue features the Hall of Famer in the pose that is recognizable to generations of fans: arm cocked and ready to fire. The piece boasts an outstanding painting effort with bold colors and excellent gloss, easily Near-Mint and without any serious issues. For serious Hartland Football collectors, the Unitas figure is typically the cornerstone of many collections, and arguably the most attractive of the entire roster of gridiron statues.
