60's AMARILLO SANDIES FOOTBALL BOBBING HEAD - RARE

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2022

This doll is of the famed High School Football Team* in Amarillo Texas. It has nice bright coloring and strong decals. There are several cracks on the back of the helmet that cannot be seen when displayed. This is the first one that we've seen in over 30 years in the hobby.

*The Amarillo Golden Sandstorm football program has one of the best early traditions in Texas. Beginning in 1922, Amarillo High has made 46 football playoff appearances (as of 2007), which is second only to 5A Dallas Highland Park. Amarillo High emerged as a football powerhouse in the 1930s as young head coach Blair Cherry guided the Sandies to three consecutive Texas state championships in 1934–1936, as only the second school to ever do so (the Paul Tyson-guided Waco won 1925–27).
