BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Trio of Autographed Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame 8×10 Photographs
This collection consists of three color 8×10 inch photographs individually hand-signed by Hall of Fame members of the Miami Dolphins. The first item features center Jim Langer (number 62) in a white jersey, signed in blue felt-tip pen with the inscription HOF 87. It is a licensed product with 2002 Jim Langer and ProLook copyright markings (Image 4817). The second item depicts guard Larry Little (number 66) in a three-point stance, signed in blue felt-tip pen. This photograph is a licensed product from 2000 with Players Inc and ProLook markings (Image 3696). The third item shows quarterback Bob Griese (number 12) dropping back to pass, signed in black felt-tip pen with the inscription HOF 90. This photograph features an official NFL authentication hologram with serial number 00098218345 and is a 2003 Photo File Inc. product. All three players were key starters on the historic 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins team.
Each photograph: 8 x 10 inches.
Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan (with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia). The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item(s) may not be individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present, but for the most part we have seen AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES within the collection. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos. Please reach out with any questions.
Condition report:
The photographs are in excellent overall condition. The colors remain vibrant and the signatures are sharp and clear. There are no visible signs of creasing, fading, or significant wear to the edges or corners.
