Chronicle a decade of Notre Dame football, with this 1950-1959 football program near complete run (95/99). The Fighting Irish enjoyed an unbeaten 9-0-1 season in 1953, to earn an unclaimed national championship. Other highlights of the 1950s were Heisman trophy winning seasons in 1953 for Johnny Lattner, and 1956 for Paul Hornung, who went on to a spectacular NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. Condition is generally favorable, ranging 80% Ex to Nm+, 20% Vg to Vg-Ex, with deference to (1) lesser program. Given their age, these mostly better grade programs stack up as a tremendous find, especially in consideration of Notre Dame’s great nationwide popularity. Just four programs shy of a complete ten-year run, this offering is worthy of a long look.
