Custom on-field style jersey. Everything is sewn on, size XL. Has been hand-signed and inscribed by Sam Jones. "Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets."With those six words, Flash Gordon secured his place in history as one of the most beloved players in New York Jets history. Never mind the fact that he doesn't actually exist, or that the 1980 Flash Gordon movie from director Mike Hodges with the unforgettable Queen soundtrack is the only time in the character's 80-plus year pop culture history he has ever been known as a pro football player (Flash has been a polo player for Yale, a guard for the Boston Celtics, and more in other versions of the story), let alone one associated with one of the most misbegotten franchises the sport has ever known.Other than the fact he won the Super Bowl we don't learn much about his football days. Hell, the only glimpse we get of Flash in a Jets uniform (he wears Keyshawn Johnson's #19) is via the cover of People Magazine, which Mr. Gordon graciously autographs for an airline pilot's son (named Buzz because this movie takes place in a world where names like "Flash" and "Buzz" are commonplace). Thank the football gods, then for Arthur Byron Cover's 1980 novelization of the film otherwise we'd never know the truth. Y'see, kids, back in the day, movie tie-in novels were all the rage, and thanks to a combination of authors needing to fill page counts and these often being based on earlier versions of the movie's script, you could find all kinds of cool info you wouldn't in the movie.The lot / autograph(s) includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
