Contested by the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants on 12/28/58 at Yankee Stadium, the 1958 NFL championship game ended in sudden death overtime, with the Colts victorious by a score of 23-17. Nationally televised by NBC, this memorable event is famously regarded as "The Greatest Game Ever Played". A scarce souvenir from this big game surfaces, with this 1958 Baltimore Colts National Football Championship full-size pennant. Decorated with the iconic "colt leaping over the goalpost" applique, this sixty-five-year-old herald rates as good, with considerable wear, however given the limited availability of survivors, it stacks up as a desirable piece.
