Take a step back in time, to a glorious era in sports posters, and a glorious era in Cincinnati sports history! This vintage classic takes you back to 1981, when the Bengals made a thrilling, unexpected run to the AFC Championship and Super Bowl XVI, thanks in large part to long-time QB great Ken Anderson's favorite new target, rookie receiver Cris Collinsworth. From the moment he stepped on the field that season, Cris was a dynamo - 67 receptions for 1009 yards and 8 touchdowns, and after that championship run, was second in Rookie of the Year voting. This amazing poster features the star in action back in the day, using his incredible athleticism to extend a reception at mid-field. As with all posters in the "White Border" Sports Illustrated design that spanned the years 1978-1987, this one features the best of Sports Illustrated photography, the iconic white-bordered layout, and a facsimile signature from the player himself as part of the design!

This particular poster was obtained as part of our "Toledo Collection", obtained from a collector in Ohio who preserved his large collection of old 1980s Sports Illustrated posters flat, never displayed on the wall, and virtually untouched since purchasing them out of store racks back in the day. This one displays as well as it would have back in the 1980s, with just some minor typical imperfections consistent with any poster purchased at that time. The picture you see here is the actual poster you will receive! Don't miss your chance at this one, old-school Bengals fans - only one available.
