The Continental Football League was an American football league played in North America from 1965 through 1969. It was established as a minor league. It had hoped to be the ""major force"" in professional football outside of the National Football League and American Football League. Bill Walsh, Ken Stabler and Sam Wyche were among a few players and coaches who would later gain fame in the NFL. The ContFL was primarily formed from teams in the United and Atlantic Coast Football Leagues. The Newark Bears, Springfield Acorns, Richmond Rebels , and Hartford Charter Oaks, came from the ACFL. The Springfield franchise was relocated to Norfolk, VA, where it was renamed the Neptunes , prior to the start of the season. The ACFL, though also losing the Atlanta and Westchester franchises, continued with the 8 remaining teams: Jersey City, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton in the Southern Division; and, New Bedford, Boston, Mohawk Valley, and Holyoke in the Northern Division. The league adopted a ""professional"" appearance. The teams were sorted into two divisions and each time sported a 36-man roster with a 5-man ""taxi"" squad. Each franchise met the financial requirements of a $5,000 franchise fee and the posting of a $25,000 letter of credit. The rules were primarily those of the NFL except that a ""sudden death"" overtime period was employed to break ties. The league named A.B. ""Happy"" Chandler, the former Kentucky Governor and retired Commissioner of Baseball, as its first Commissioner on March 17, 1965. The first ContFL season opened with three games played on August 14, 1965. Very rare minor league professional football certificate, never seen before. DeLaRueBC. XF." (Photo)	250-500
