Description:1958 Jim Brown "Joe Carr Award" presented by The Touchdown Club. Visually imposing presentational trophy has an engraved placard on the base front which reads, "The Outstanding Professional Football Player, Jim Brown, Cleveland Browns, Presented By The Touchdown Club, Inc. Columbus, Ohio." The upright portion above holds an additional which is lettered "Joe Carr Award 1958" and atop this is small handled cup and figural football player decoration. The piece stands just under (2) feet tall with some minor tarnish and hint of wear. The Touchdown Club of Columbus awarded this honor annually from 1955-1978 and the list of recipients reads like a whos' who of notable players to include Johnny Unitas, Paul Hornung, Bart Starr, George Blanda, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Walter Payton, and Jim Brown who was selected twice. His 1958 season ranks among the best in history when Brown scored (17) touchdowns (besting his closest competitor by eight) and broke the single-season rushing record. Among the other respected organizations which named him the 1958 NFL MVP were the Associated Press and Sporting News and he was awarded the Jim Thorpe Memorial Trophy. Substantive presentational pieces of note recognizing significant seasons by so legendary a player are seldom offered and this surely stands among the more important related to Brown which has entered the market: EX/MT
