ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $300.00
Winning Bid: $522.57
Price Realized: $624.47
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

What better symbolic place could one hope to find the signatures of the famed "Steel Curtain" front four than this dazzling orange custom made seat from Three Rivers Stadium during the Steelers' 4-Super Bowl-title reign of the '70s? After all, "Mean" Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Ernie Holmes (from the "University of Mars") and Dwight White regularly helped usher QBs and other ball-carrying people to their "seats", and not with a smile. Each left their marker in black sharpie, w/Holmes (#63) and White (#78) adding their numbers. Greene's is the best of the lot, a big and bold 9/10 with the others stylish 8's. The seat, which is marked with a "9", was signed in person by all four under the supervision of Greenwood and has one small crack in the metal, which includes black base stands. Plastic seat and upright are only lightly scratched, unlike those vicitimized ball-carriers.
