Best DETROIT LIONS Very 1st NFL Football Game Franchise History 1934 Newspaper

Description: Best DETROIT LIONS Very 1st NFL Football Game Franchise History 1934 Newspaper Offered is an original, collectible newspaper (NOT a copy/reproduction): THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Sept. 24, 1934 * Detroit Lions very 1st football game * NFL - National Football League * In a Detroit publication (very rare) The front page of the sport's section (pg. 13) has a four column heading: "Lions Defeat Giants in Opener, 9-0" with subheads and related photo. (see images) Also includes stats and lineups. First report coverage continues on page 20 with lineups. Some spine wear causes some text loss here. A related photo is at the top of page 18. Great to have this this Detroit publication.  I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time. Twenty pages, some heavy margin wear and chipping, especially along the right margin but doesn't affect the Lions reporting, should be handled with care. wikipedia notes: The 1934 Detroit Lions season was the fifth in franchise history and the first in Detroit; the franchise had previously played as the Portsmouth Spartans in Portsmouth, Ohio, a city with a population of approximately 40,000. Under head coach Potsy Clark, the Lions won their first ten games (of which the first seven were shutouts) then lost three straight in an eight-day span to end the season at 10–3. They finished in second place in the NFL Western Division, three games behind the undefeated Chicago Bears. Please Note: All of our offerings are 100% authentic!

Historical reports may be beautiful or ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at Historys Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Womens Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction. Domestic Shipping Policy... For this specific item, A U.S. winner pays $10.00 S&H.
