Auction History Result 4y0172 HARMON OF MICHIGAN 1sh 1941 legendary college football star & broadcaster, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/29/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Harmon of Michigan, the 1941 Charles Barton college football sports biography ("The greatest grid star of them all... in a fast and furious thriller!"; "The mighty All-American star in an all-action thriller!") starring Tom Harmon (playing himself!), Anita Louise, Forest Evanshevski (billed as "Harmon's Great Team-Mate"), Oscar O'Shea, and Warren Ashe. Note that Tom Harmon was an extremely popular football player for the University of Michigan Wolverines. After his college career, his popularity caused Hollywood to make this biography of him, with Harmon playing himself. Soon after, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, and was a war hero. After the war, he briefly played for the Los Angeles Rams, but his war injuries prevented him from being a major professional star. He later became an important radio broadcaster, and married movie star Elyse Knox and was the father of movie and TV star Mark Harmon, Christie Harmon, and Kelly Harmon. Many football fans consider him among the absolute finest college football players of all time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and it sold for $1,578! We strongly suspect that the reason movie paper from this title is so rare is because what little existed was purchased by football fans or fans of Tom Harmon, and left the hobby, and never returned. Condition: very good. The poster has 1/2" of separation and the tiniest of paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds, with tiny separation at the top crossfold. It has a 1" tear in the center of the top border. It has extremely minor fold wear, but it does have a 3/4" tear in the right of the middle fold, but no paper loss. It has pinholes in the corners and some light creases scattered throughout. Otherwise, it has survived in about as nice condition as one could hope for a poster of this!
