Jeremy McNett of Final Score Sports Cards in Michigan regularly buys collections of sports cards and occasionally memorabilia, too. He’s been in the game for a long time but one connection paid off with an unusual item that’s now part of the state’s sports history.
A scrapbook put together more than 100 years ago by one of the school’s top athletes was part of a collection McNett purchased. It was originally the property of Stanley George Fontanna, a track star at the University of Michigan and contains ribbons he earned along with football material, clippings and other material that was saved in the book from 1914-1920. Fontanna later became a professor at the school.
The thick book has the school’s famous gold “M” on the front.
The local newspaper has details of the book’s discovery, including its final destination.
