Maybe only Babe Ruth's face and No. 3 were more recognizeable than the mug and the "77" in this vintage 8 x10 of the Galloping Ghost. His eclat was such that when he signed with the Bears after his final game at Illinois he was instantly the highest-paid player in the pros, making $3,000 and a cut of the gate for a Bears barnstorming tour in '26. He even wore a $500 raccoon coat. Photo is signed to a guy he called "my friend" in blue marker, the jaunty "'Red' Grange" autograph NRMT, as is the photo.
