Len Dawson Photograph Appraisal

Autographed Len Dawson Kansas City Chiefs 8x10 Photograph

This is a color action photograph of Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson during his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs. The photograph appears to be a standard 8x10 inch size and features Dawson in a classic white away jersey with red numbering (number 16) and red pants. He is captured in a throwing motion on a grass field with a blurred stadium crowd in the background. The item is prominently signed in black felt-tip marker across the center-bottom of the image. The signature reads 'Len Dawson' and includes the inscription 'HOF 87,' referencing his 1987 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The print includes several authentication elements: an NFL logo, a small 'Photo File' logo, and a holographic serial-numbered sticker from a third-party authenticator such as Mounted Memories (indicated by the distinct oval shape and green/yellow shift). An additional 75th Anniversary NFL hologram is visible in the bottom right corner. The photo is housed in a rigid plastic top-loader for protection. While the photo itself appears to be in excellent condition with vibrant colors and sharp focus, there is a visible glare from a camera flash reflecting off the protective plastic sleeve. There are no obvious signs of fading, creasing, or moisture damage to the print itself. The ink of the signature is bold and consistent, without significant 'skipping' or smudging.
