Joe Perry was featured in the San Francisco 49ers' "Million Dollar Backfield", made three straight Pro Bowl appearances, and in 1954 was named the NFL MVP by United Press International. He was the first player in the NFL to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, doing so in 1953 and 1954. Perry retired in 1963 as the league's all-time leader in rushing yards, and in 1969 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His jersey number 34 was retired by the 49ers in 1971.

Blount is considered one of the best cornerbacks to have ever played in the NFL. His physical style of play made him one of the most feared defensive backs in the game at a time when pass interference rules were less stringent. He played in 5 Pro Bowls and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

This lot features Goal Line Art cards signed in blue by both Perry and Blount. Each card is numbered to just 5,000 and each includes a Great Moments COA.
