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.

Upon examining the provided images of this Jerry Rice autographed limited edition art print, I have conducted an appraisal based on its visual characteristics and prevailing market conditions. The item is a dynamic action print, numbered 105 out of a sizable edition of 1500, signed by both Jerry Rice and the artist, Daniel Smith. The print itself appears to be in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and no visible fading or damage, housed within a suitable gold-colored frame and red matting. The frame shows minor wear consistent with its age. The value of this piece is primarily driven by the Jerry Rice autograph. Rice is an undisputed legend, and his signature holds strong, consistent demand among football collectors. The limited edition nature, while adding some value, is somewhat diluted by the large edition size of 1500. The dual signature with the artist is a positive feature. Current market comparables for Jerry Rice signed prints and photos of this size and quality typically sell in the $200 to $400 range, depending on the item and authentication. A key limitation of this appraisal is the inability to physically inspect the item. The Jerry Rice signature appears consistent with known exemplars, but without in-person examination or a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from a reputable third-party authenticator (such as PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett), its authenticity cannot be definitively confirmed from images alone. A full authentication would require professional verification. Assuming the signature is authentic, the value is established.
