Steve Gleason Appraisal

Never Punt: Steve Gleason Limited Edition Signed Print by Michael Hunt

This is a professionally framed, limited edition commemorative sports lithograph titled 'Never Punt' by renowned New Orleans artist Michael Hunt. The piece captures the iconic moment New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason blocked an Atlanta Falcons punt during the first game in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina in 2006. The artwork is printed on high-quality archival paper and features a double-matted presentation in black and gold, reflecting the Saints team colors. The outer frame is a classic gold-toned wood or composite with beading detail. Notably, the print is hand-signed in ink by both the subject, Steve Gleason (including his jersey number 37), and the artist, Michael Hunt. A limited edition numbering is visible in the lower left corner (noted as 5/200), indicating rarity. The graphical composition includes a 'Never Punt Steve Gleason' header with stars and fleur-de-lis accents in the corners of the inner border. The condition appears to be excellent, with the frame intact and no visible signs of foxing, sunlight fading, or humidity damage to the paper. The craftsmanship represents a high-end sports memorabilia piece intended for collectors, likely produced within the last 10-15 years as part of a charitable or commemorative series.
