Bert Bell spent four decades in the college and pro football realm as a coach and administrator, culminating in his stint as NFL commissioner from 1946 until his passing in 1959. Vintage original oversized sepia-toned photo of Bert and wife Frances measures 15x19.5" matted and framed to 27x31", with signature and "Merry Xmas 1934" inscription in black steel-tip fountain ink. Signature is a solid 8/10 and while there is some toning to the original photo, the entire piece rates in EX-NM condition overall. Stellar memento of one of the sport's great pioneers. Comes with JSA LOA.
