Jerry Rice Autographed Limited Edition Football Action Print

This item is a framed, limited edition art print featuring a dynamic action shot of Jerry Rice, a prominent American football wide receiver, in mid-play while catching a football. The image captures Rice, wearing a red and gold (likely San Francisco 49ers) jersey with the number '80' visible on his sleeve, and a gold helmet with a red 49ers logo, reaching for a football with an opposing player from the 'COLTS' (Indianapolis Colts) in a white jersey and helmet to his left. The print exhibits vibrant colors, typical of a professional sports photograph or art rendering, with strong reds, golds, and whites. It features a visible autograph by 'Jerry Rice' near the bottom center, adding significant collectible value. Additionally, the context indicates a signature by 'Daniel Smith', which could refer to the artist or another individual involved with the print, though this signature is not clearly discernible in the provided image snippets. The print is numbered '105/1500' in the bottom left corner, signifying its status as part of a limited production run. It is presented within a gold-colored metallic frame, which appears to be in good condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and display, such as slight scuffs that might be present on the reflective surface. The print itself seems well-preserved behind glass or acrylic, with no obvious signs of fading, creases, or major damage, though direct inspection for minor issues is not possible from the image. The matting appears to be a complementary red or maroon color, creating a border between the print and the frame, enhancing its presentation. The style suggests it dates from the period of Jerry Rice's active playing career, likely between the late 1980s to early 2000s. The overall craftsmanship of the print and framing appears to be of good quality, suited for display in a collection.
