Description: Spectacular 1933 Philadelphia Eagles advertising broadside - first year in National Football League. Exceptionally rare 14"x22" promotional piece done on heavy stock with a large player graphic and "Philadelphia National League Football Club" titling. This is one a small "find" (totaling 4 pieces) which were recently consigned to us. Text below relays their schedule starting around half way through the season with the Chicago Bears noted as the November 12th opponent. The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates game dates are reversed but the Packers and Giants games which finished out the season align properly with their 1933 schedule. It would mark the Eagles first season in the National Football League and the Franchise has grown one of the largest and most dedicated fan bases in all of professional sport. The broadside has several condition flaws with the most notable being some nail/tack holes, chipping to corners, some creasing to upper left, and a larger tear/break extending from the top edge down through the sky blue colored text block. It retains exceptional display value and is certainly among the premier early Eagles related display pieces that we have seen or offerred. Rarity can not be overstated and it is possible that this is the very first example of this piece which has come to market: Technical PR/FR with far superior eye appeal.Estimated Price Range: $1,000-$3,000
