GREEN BAY, Wis. (WRN) — A historic document in Wisconsin sports is up for auction.
It’s the Green Bay Packers NFL Membership Certificate from circa 1923.
Heritage Auctions says the certificate first emerged over a decade ago from the estate of early NFL president Joe Carr. A slightly scaled-down color reproduction is on display at the Packers Hall of Fame.
The original certificate is described as 13-and-a-half by 16 inches in size with some age-toning but no tearing, creasing or chipping common to similar collectible documents.
Bids are expected to exceed $50,000.
