PICCOLO, Brian (1943-1970). Clipped signature of the Chicago Bears Fullback and Running Back. [N.p., n.d, ca. 1960s]. (44 x 68 mm). Signed on plain white paper or card stock. With “PSA/DNA” authentication sticker on lower margin, and three visible embossed lines (one of which is creased). Matted, framed and glazed with a photographic print of Piccolo and an engraved plaque. With COA of PSA/DNA affixed to rear of frame. Unexamined out of frame. The 1971 television movie, Brian’s Song, starring James Caan as Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Gayle Sayers, was based on the real-life friendship of Piccolo and Sayers, and the subsequent tragic death of Piccolo in 1970 of Embryonal Cell Carcinoma. Brian’s Song is still considered to be one of the finest made-for-television films.
