It looks like it was bought at the souvenir stand and mummified the same day. How else could one explain the remarkable MINT condition of this 1954 NFL Championship program? A pivotal game in NFL history between the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions yields a perfect and enthralling souvenir that's a lot of fun to read. A wonderful color cover sketch of two players vying for a pass and a color Sports Illustrated ad on the back sandwich 44 fascinating pages. You want to know exactly where the NFL was in the mid-'50s? This is the catch. For the record, the Otto Graham-led Browns demolished the Bobby Layne-led Lions, 56-10, to avenge two straight NFL Championship defeats to Detroit.
