With the sixth pick in the 1956 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Jim Brown of Syracuse University, & there he stayed for his entire decorated NFL career. A majority of Brown's impressive career average 5.2 yards per carry were housed in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. Demolished in 1996, this relic somehow managed to be saved from the wreckage & signed by arguably Cleveland's best major sports figure, Jim Brown, in black felt tip marker adding "HOF 71." Issued directly from the Mayor of Cleveland, this brick comes with the original box & paperwork from the city along with a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
