Albersheim's 2015 November Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/14/2015
“The Bus” is currently sixth on the list of NFL rushing yards leaders with 13,662 rushing yards. He retired in 2006 after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. In a career that spanned from 1993-2005 with the Rams and Steelers, Bettis was selected to six Pro Bowls, is a Super Bowl Champ, and 2x AFC Champion. His #36, although not officially retired by the Pittsburgh Steelers, is no longer used by the team. It would be an understatement to say that Bettis was one of the most dominant running backs in the 1990s. He’s one of the newest inductees into the Pro Football HOF.
This lot was obtained from a photographer who shot several Pro Bowls and formed relationships with many of the players. Offered is a pair of Bettis’ size 12 turf shoes worn in Hawaii during one of his Pro Bowl appearances (both shoes have been autographed in blue marker) along with a pair of gloves he wore in the game while with the Rams. He signed one of the gloves in blue sharpie.
RARE early Bettis game worn memorabilia!
COA from the photographer who obtained the gloves and turf shoes.
