A Unique Memory of Art Morrow

We just sold one of the most unique pieces of sports memorabilia that we have ever had here at DeansCards.com. We have had the notebook of reporter Art Morrow, a sportswriter for the Philadelphia Inquirer for more than 40 years, for several months and it is now finally out the door. Art Morrow was also a correspondent for The Sporting News and a consultant for Sporting Life Magazine.

The journal is dated 1954 and is filled with handwritten box scores from Phillies’ and Athletics’ games. It’s crazy to think of a reporter sitting down and keeping record of a game through a physical journal instead of just turning on a television or computer.

We just wanted to share this one-of-a-kind item with you guys because we don’t think that we will ever see anything like it again.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia. They are members of the East Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Eagles have won three NFL titles and made two Super Bowl appearances, losing both (in 1980 to the Oakland Raiders and in 2004 to the New England Patriots).

The club was established in 1933 as a replacement for the bankrupt Frankford Yellow Jackets after a syndicate led by future NFL commissioner Bert Bell purchased the rights to a Philadelphia franchise from the league. The Eagles were named after the Blue Eagle, a symbol used for the New Deal stimulus programs initiated during the Great Depression.
