Georgia Tech 1950s football items

I'm open for offers on a lot of Georgia Tech football memorabilia from the 1950s. I'll be including these items in a Nashville garage sale this weekend if I can't sell them elsewhere first.

Most significant is the program from the Georgia Tech - Miami game, Sept. 17, 1955. This was billed as the first NCAA game to be broadcast nationally in color television (background here). Tech won 14 to 6.

Also included are newspaper clippings with the story on that game, as well as published color photos from the contest and a badly deteriorated program from the T-Day game the prior spring.

All of these items were glued or taped into a scrapbook and bear the usual marks of materials removed from a scrapbook. If the buyer is not in-person, we need to come to a clear understanding about the condition of these items before we enter into a deal.

A pic of this lot is the second item at left on this page.

    Nothing from the October 7, 1916 game?

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
  • Ha. That game program would be worth something, if it existed. Cumberland U. is up here near Nashville, has a fine law school, but has spent nearly a century being best known for the 222-0 beatdown.

    I will be at Cumberland this weekend for a football coach's clinic.
  • I think the first televised color football game was in 1951
