What's really cool is that the calendar is on November. He probably tore off the October the day after Billy Cannon's famous run that occurred October 31, 1959, then put it away.


Not sure but cool to think of it that way

My guess is he rolled it up in December 1959 when the 1960 calendar came out. Probably never saw light until this year


Nah, looks like he rolled it up the day after Cannon's Halloween punt return TD!

Great find! Antiquetiger will be drooling. But then again, he probably already has it.
