Inaugural Pro Football Hall of Fame class members

This dedication program has an unbelievable collection of signatures from all nine then-living members of the inaugural class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The initial class of 17 players and executives was announced in January 1963, and all were honored at the Hall of Fame’s new museum in Canton, Ohio on September 7. These inductees represented the best of the best from professional football’s first four decades.
