The first item in this lot is a 24 x 30-inch white paper poster with silver printing across the top, “LEGENDS” above a 13 x 15-inch black and white group photograph of Jim Plunkett (left), Daryle Lamonica (top, center) George Blanda (right) and Ken Stabler (bottom, center) in their black Raiders jersey. Below the photograph, the players have signed above their names in black pencil, with a black and white Raiders logo in the center.  At the bottom is the legend, printed in silver, “Commitment to Excellence.”  The poster is a limited edition 16/750, which is etched in black pencil below the photo. 

The second item in this lot is a 17 x 22-inch color poster “Panasonic Honors Raiders in the Hall of Fame” in white letters against the blue background. Below the headline is the image of a black and white Raiders shield with a gold, blue and white color illustration of a “Pro Football’s Hall of Fame” ring.  Clockwise from the top left are illustrations of George Blanda, Willie Brown, Art Shell, Ted Hendricks, Fred Biletnikoff and Gene Upshaw, with Jim Otto in the center.  All seven players have signed their names in black marker on their image, with Jim Otto inscribing “OO” below his name and Fred Biletnikoff inscribing “25” below his name.  There is a signature in the bottom center, “Art Thomas FCA” in black marker, over an illustration of a hand holding a Panasonic Palmcorder Compact VHS Camcorder, and the caption “Commemorating the Hall of Fame Ring Presentation to Ted Hendricks November 11, 1990.”  The back of the poster has handwritten notes of the location and dates of the players’ signatures. These items come with a LOA from the family of George Blanda and this entire lot has been pre-certified by Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication.
