49ers The Catch Appraisal

The Catch" Limited Edition Print Signed by Dwight Clark and Daniel Smith

This is a framed, limited edition sports art print depicting a pivotal moment in American football history. The print, titled "The Catch," captures San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dwight Clark making his famous game-winning catch in the 1982 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, specifically over Cowboys' defender Everson Walls. The artwork is rendered in vibrant colors, primarily featuring the 49ers' red and gold uniforms and the Cowboys' white and blue, against a backdrop suggestive of a stadium interior under lights. The print is encased within a frame, likely made of wood or a composite material with a metallic gold finish, and an inner red border that complements the 49ers' team colors. The print itself appears to be of substantial size, occupying a significant portion of a wall. Below the central image, the print is signed by Dwight Clark in a prominent, clear autograph using what appears to be a black marker or pen. Additionally, there is a handwritten signature by "Daniel Smith," likely the artist of the print, further authenticating the piece. To the left of Dwight Clark's signature, there is a numbering '92/100', indicating that this is the 92nd print out of a limited edition run of 100, which significantly enhances its collectibility and value. The print is in good visible condition with no apparent creases, tears, or significant discoloration. The frame also appears well-maintained, suggesting proper care and display. The glass covering the print is clear, providing good visibility. This item is a prime example of sports memorabilia that also crosses into the fine art domain, celebrating a legendary moment in NFL history.
