1954 Bowman #111 Dante Lavelli – PSA 8 - Mr. Clutch and the Hands of a Champion

Dante Lavelli, known affectionately as "Gluefingers," was one of the most dependable and productive wide receivers of the NFL’s early golden era. A key member of the dominant Cleveland Browns dynasty under Paul Brown, Lavelli helped guide the team to seven championships across the AAFC and NFL, becoming quarterback Otto Graham’s most trusted target. Known for his sure hands, precise routes, and ability to come through in the biggest moments, Lavelli was the prototype for the modern possession receiver and a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee in 1975.
