April 3, 2025: Spring Auction
Presented a striking example of the Hartland Football Jon Arnett Statue, the very same one that along with the legendary Johnny Unitas marked the launch of the company’s football line barely a year after the inaugural five baseball statues were produced in 1958. As one of the top running backs in the league at the time and a star player on the NFL’s glamour franchise on the West Coast, Arnett was tabbed as a logical choice to balance the ticket with a West Coast presence. The statue portrays Arnett in the Rams’ colorful blue-and-gold in a piece that 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 Arnett and Unitas figures are typically the cornerstone of many collections, and arguably the most attractive of the entire roster of gridiron statues. Indeed, the Arnett prototype would be used for all 14 of the NFL Teams in the Running Back Series.
