George Gipp Signed Autographed 4x6 Photo Notre Dame Knute Rockne EXTREMELY RARE
JSA # BB72955
Circa 1919 George Gipp Signed Photograph. Still considered one of the most versatile athletes to play the game of football, and a figure who carries an almost mythical persona in sports circles, George Gipp is presented on this incredible signed original photograph. There's no need to reiterate the legendary story of how Gipp's head football coach Knute Rockne used his tragic story of his early passing to motivate his Notre Dame squad at the halftime of a 1928 game versus Army at Yankee Stadium, as we're extremely confident that serious vintage signature collectors already know the significance of this item inside and out. To state that this offering is rare would be quite the understatement. According to the hobby's most influential autograph experts, it's estimated that there are less than ten signed Gipp images in existence.
Offered here is the most iconic photo of the incredible Notre Dame football player George Gipp. Taken the moment Gipp punts the ball, his leg is fully extended with his eyes intently following the ball. Taken from sports too soon, Gipp became ill and unfortunately died during his senior season at ND in 1920, making his signature one of the most sought after autographs in the hobby. This 4 3/4" x 6 3/4” photo has been signed in fountian pen ink.
