Troy
Aikman
$249
Dallas
Cowboys QB Troy Aikman may not have been the flashiest of QB's,
but he certainly was one of the winningest to have played the
game. Not only was he the winning quarterback in Super Bowls XXVII,
XXVIII, and XXX (one of only three starting quarterbacks in NFL
history with at least three Super Bowl victories), but he was
also the winningest QB of any decade in NFL history - 90 victories
in the 90's (Joe Montana had 86 in the 80's and Roger Staubach
had 84 in the 70's). The Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XXVII,
Troy led the Cowboys to six NFC East titles and, at the time of
his retirement, boasted the 4th highest completion percentage
of all-time. At UCLA, he finished his college career as the third-highest
rated passer in NCAA history. This great hand-signed photograph
shows Troy in action for "America's Team." Sports Gallery

Oakland Raider and Kansas City Chief Running Back Marcus Allen
is one of the All-Time Greats at the Tailback position. Before
being drafted 10th overall by the Raiders in the 1982 NFL Draft,
Allen played running back at the USC where in 1981 he had one
of the most spectacular seasons in NCAA history. He rushed for
2,342 yards, becoming the first player
in NCAA history to rush for over 2,000 yards in one season.
Marcus also gained a total of 2,683 offensive yards, led the
nation in scoring, and won the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award,
and Walter Camp Awards. Then USC-Coach John Robinson called
Allen "The greatest player I ever saw".And, of course,
not much changed in the NFL where Allen was a Six-Time Pro Bowl
Selection, Two-Time First-Time All-Pro Selection, NFL Rookie
of the Year (1982), NFL MVP (1985), Super Bowl Champion and
MVP (XVIII), and Pro Football Hall of Fame Member (Class of
2003). The first player in NFL history to gain more than 10,000
rushing yards and 5,000 receiving yards during his NFL career,
Allen retired from Pro Football with 12,243 yards and
123 Touchdowns.

At one time, former Seattle Seahawks RB
Shaun Alexander was perhaps the most dominating offensive player
in the NFL. The Florence, Kentucky native attended the University
of Alabama were he recorded the Alabama single-game rushing
record as a freshman (291 yards against LSU) and holds the school
career rushing record with 3,565 yards in four seasons. Drafted
by the Seahawks with the 19th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft, Alexander
really started to turn heads the following year. In a game played
on October 11, 2001 against the Oakland Raiders, he rushed for
a franchise record 266 yards on 35 carries. That year he also
led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 14. In 2003, Alexander
rushed his way to 1,435 yards and scored 16 touchdowns. Seattle
also made its first playoff appearance since 2000. Alexander's
success in the 2003 season earned him his first trip to Honolulu
for the annual Pro Bowl. But 2005 was Alexander's breakout season
as one of the NFL's elite players. How's this for a season:
Rushed
for 1,880 yards-more than the total for 20 NFL teams.
Scored
28 touchdowns, an NFL single-season record.
Scored
168 points, second most in league history behind Paul Hornung's
176 in 1960.
Became the first player to score at least 15 TDs in five consecutive
seasons.
Won
the NFL MVP.
Oh...and led Seattle to their first Super Bowl appearance in
team history. An amazing season. Because of all his success
he was nicknamed "The Franchise"
by his fellow players. This terrific hand-signed 16x20 action
shot of Shaun is Sports Gallery Quality

Shaun became the first Seahawk player to appear on
the cover of Sports Illustrated, with the headline
"Do you know his name?". In a fitting piece
of irony, the article failed to spell his name correctly
(Shawn instead of Shaun).

Jerome
Bettis
$189
Pittsburgh
RB Jerome Abram "The Bus" Bettis was born on February
16, 1972 in Detroit, Michigan. Considered on of the best...if
not THE best..."Big Back" of his era, Bettis played
his collegiate ball at Notre Dame and was the Offensive Rookie
of the Year for the Los Angeles Rams who drafted him in the first
round of 1993 NFL draft. Traded to the Steelers in 1996, Bettis
career took off in Steel Town. Fifth on the all-time NFL rushing
list, Bettis was an integral part of the Steeler offense for almost
a decade. A dependable 1,000 yard rusher, Bettis was named to
the Pro Bowl in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2004. In
2002, Bettis was the recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the
Year Award. But the 2005 season was truly the "Year
of the Bus." After the Steelers defeat in the 2004
AFC Championship Game, Bettis hinted that he was considering retirement.
Word is that QB Ben Roethlisberger promised Bettis that if he
came back for one last season, he would get him to the Super Bowl.
Jerome just couldn't pass up the chance to play in Super Bowl
XL in his hometown of Detroit and agreed to come back for one
last season. Good choice. Of course, the Steelers went on to not
only play in Super Bowl XL but win it against the Seattle Seahawks.
After the game Bettis announced to the crowd "I'm
a champion now, and I think the Bus's last stop is here in Detroit."
Farewell Bus. Sports Gallery Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and
classic Steelers double-matting,

Although
he was an All-American end at Florida State in 1964, many professional
scouts doubted that Fred would make it in the NFL because he lacked
speed. But, Biletnikoff parlayed hard work, precise pass routes,
and great hands into a Hall of Fame career with the Oakland Raiders.
Coach John Madden called him "one
of the most dedicated athletes I have ever seen."
In Super Bowl XI, Biletnikoff was named MVP in Oakland's 32-14
win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fred retired after the 1978 season.
He had 589 career receptions for 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns.
Fred's trademark was large gobs of a gooey substance known as
"stickum" which he
smeared on his socks so he could apply some to his fingers before
each play.
SGA

Pittsburgh
Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw, the first player selected in the 1970
NFL Draft, became one of the dominant quarterbacks of the NFL
during his career leading the Steelers to eight AFC Central championships,
and an unprecedented four Super Bowl titles in a six-year period
(1974 to 1979). In the four Super Bowls, he passed for an impressive
932 yards and 9 touchdowns. In his 14-season career, Bradshaw
completed 2,025 of 3,901 passes for 27,989 yards and 212 touchdowns.
He also rushed 444 times for 2,257 yards and 32 touchdowns. Bradshaw,
who was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player by the Associated
Press (among others) in 1978, was elected to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in 1989. This hand-signed vintage 11x14 photograph

Serra High School (San Mateo, CA) and University of Michigan graduate,
QB Tom Brady led the Patriots to their surprising Super Bowl XXXVI
win over the heavily-favored Los Angeles Rams. He was named the
Most Valuable Player of that game as well as being voted to the
2001 Pro Bowl. Then he did it all over again in 2003/2004 when
he led the Pats over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII,
again winning the MVP Award for the game. And in the 2005 Super
Bowl he once again was a winner, leading the Patriots to victory
over the Philadelphia Eagles. Three Super Bowl Victories and Two
Super Bowl MVP's in four years - not a bad day at the office.
The Joe Montana comparisons aren't going away anytime soon as
Brady as the Pats are tearing up the league pretty much year in
and year out. And the scary part is Brady's career is far from
over! These two sweet photographs (in cool 11x14 and 12x18 sizes)

New
England QB Tom Brady and REC Randy Moss became one of the greatest
quarterback/receiver tandems in football history during 2007/08
season. Together they not only led New England to an undefeated
regular season but they also both set single-season records for
touchdowns...on the same play. On December 29, during the fourth
quarter of the Patriots thrilling 38-35 victory over the NY Giants,
Tom Brady and Randy Moss set single-season records for touchdown
passes and TD catches, respectively, when they combined on a 65-yard
scoring pass. The play gave Brady 50 TD passes for the season,
breaking Peyton Manning's 2004 record of 49 and Moss 23 catches,
breaking the 1987 mark of Jerry Rice. And it gave the Patriots
the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
This Sports
Gallery Exclusive captures this great football moment
as only Sports Gallery can. The u/s display includes two 8x10
"record-breaking" photos of both Brady and Moss and

San
Francisco 49ers QB John Brodie was born in San Francisco, California.
He went on to attend Stanford University, where he was selected
as a consensus All-American in 1956. He first appeared with the
49ers as a rookie in 1957 but got more playing time in 1958 through
1960, sharing time with the great Y.A.
Tittle. John became the Niners starting QB in 1961,
a position held through 1973.
Throughout the 1960's, he was among the leading passers in the
league with his best statistical year coming in 1965 when he led
the League in passing average (3,112 yards) and touchdowns (30).
He appeared in the Pro Bowl in 1965 and 1970 and won the NFL MVP

During Willie's 12 years in Oakland from 1967-1978, the Raiders

Despite
leaving a year early to test the NFL waters, Reggie Bush still
managed to have quite a collegiate career at the University of
Southern California. During his freshman year in 2003, Reggie
set a USC record with his 1,331 all-purpose yards. The next season
Reggie finished fifth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, was
named the team's MVP, earned consensus All-American honors and
was a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. He
also became the first Trojan since Marcus Allen to lead the Pac-10
in all-purpose yardage, totaling 2,330 yards. And, of course,
in 2005 he simply dominated college football. Bush was a unanimous
All-American first-team pick and the winner of the Heisman Trophy.
He was named the Associated Press Player of the Year, Pigskin
Club of Washington D.C. Offensive Player of the Year, Touchdown
Club of Columbus Player of the Year and was the recipient of the
Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and Doak Walker Award (nation's
best running back). He led the nation with an average of 222.3

average of 222.3 all-purpose yards per game. Matt Leinart, the
2004 Heisman trophy winner, was equally spectacular at the Quarterback
position. He finished his USC career throwing 807/1245 (64.8%)
for 10,693 yards and 99 touchdowns. He is USC's all-time leader
in career touchdown passes and completion percentage. And the
two shared a famous play in college football. On Oct 15, 2005,
USC won their 28th straight victory against the ninth ranked Fighting
Irish of Notre Dame in one of the more thrilling games of that
season. With just 3 seconds on the clock, Leinart pushed and spun
his way into the end zone, with a helpful nudge from Reggie, capping
the 34-31 victory for the Trojans! This classic photograph shows
this infamous "Bush Push" (check out the Notre Dame

Dick
Butkus, a Chicago native and two-time Illinois All-America, possessed
a desire to excel that few have ever equaled. He played as the
Chicago Bears' middle linebacker for nine years with only one
goal in mind – to be the best. And from the very start, he
was just that. In his rookie season, Butkus, a first-round draft
choice had only one challenger for National Football League Rookie
of the Year honors, teammate Gale Sayers. That same year Butkus
was named first-team All-NFL, an honor he would record five more
times. Butkus also played in the Pro Bowl following his rookie
season and in each of the next seven years. A Chicago Bears classic,
Butkus was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979, his
first year of eligibility. This hand-signed vintage photograph
of Dick in action perfectly captures his intensity on the field.

Most
refer to this infamous 1978 play as the "Holy
Roller." In San Diego, however, they still call it
the "Immaculate Deception."
Whatever its name, this miraculous play is definitely one of the
more memorable touchdowns in Oakland Raiders history. Trailing
20-14 with 10 seconds left in the game the Raiders had possession
of the ball at the Chargers 14-yard line. Raiders quarterback
Ken Stabler took the snap and quickly found himself
about to be sacked by Chargers linebacker Woody Lowe. Stabler
lost the ball, and it rolled forward towards the San Diego goal
line. Running back Pete Banaszak tried to recover the ball on
the 12-yard line, but could not keep his footing, and the ball
was pushed even closer to the end zone. Raiders legendary tight
end Dave Casper was the next player to reach the ball but he also
could not get a handle on it. He batted and kicked the ball into
the end zone, where he fell on it for the game-tying touchdown
as time ran out. The Raiders won, 21-20, with the ensuing extra
point by place-kicker Errol Mann. The game officials ruled that
Banaszak and Casper's actions were legal because it was impossible
to determine if they intentionally batted the ball forward, a
penalty. The NFL also backed up referee's call that Stabler fumbled
the ball instead of throwing a forward pass. However, when asked
after the game by radio announcer Bill King if he intentionally
fumbled, Stabler said, "You bet
your ass I did." Banaszak and Casper also admitted
that they deliberately batted the ball towards the end zone. This
classic shot of a classic moment in Raiders history is hand-signed
by Dave Casper and available in both 8x10 and 16x20 sizes. Both
are Sports
Gallery Quality Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective
glass and classic Raiders double matting. An absolute must for
any longtime citizen of the Raider Nation.
Did

Thanks
to the Holy Roller, in 1979 the NFL passed new rules
restricting fumble recoveries by the offense. Rules
against illegally batting the ball were strengthened
and a fumble in the final two minutes of a game, or
on fourth down at any time in the game, could no longer
be advanced by the offense beyond the spot of the
fumble unless the player who fumbled recovers the
ball.
Born
in Kinston, North Carolina, Pro Bowl wide receiver Dwight Clark
played his college football at Clemson University before being
drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 10th round of the
1979 Draft. Clark embarked on a great career with the Niners,
finishing with 506 catches, 6750 yards, 48 touchdowns and 2
Super Bowl Rings. Clark's most memorable touchdown came in the
1982 NFC Playoffs. On January 11, 1982, against the Dallas Cowboys,
the San Francisco 49ers were trailing 27-21 in the final minute
of play to advance to the Super Bowl. Clark made a leaping catch
of a desperation pass from quarterback Joe Montana in the back
of the end zone to give the 49ers a 28-27 victory. That play,
one of the most famous in NFL history, has been immortalized
by the Niner Faithful as "The
Catch" and is a big reason Clark's number 87 was
retired by the 49ers. These Sports
Gallery Exclusive displays celebrate this unforgettable
moment in 49er history. One includes a hand-signed 8x10 color
photograph of "The Catch" while the other displays
a replica of the SI cover that hit the stands the following

finishing with 506 catches for 6750 yards and 48 touchdowns.
Clark's most memorable touchdown came in the 1982 NFC Playoffs.
On January 11, 1982, against the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco
49ers were trailing 27-21 in the final minute of play to advance
to the Super Bowl. Clark made a leaping catch of a desperation
pass from quarterback Joe Montana in the back of the end zone
to give the 49ers a 28-27 victory. That play is one of the most
famous in the history in the NFL and has been immortalized in
football lore as The Catch.
Clark was a member of two Super Bowl winning clubs. His number
87 has been retired by the 49ers. At his recent Sports Gallery
appearance, Dwight signed many great Niner collectibles and
memories including these two photographs. One is a split shot
of both Joe's throw and Dwight's Catch, available in both 16x20
and 8x10, and the other is a unique close-up shot of "The
Catch" itself. Both include Dwight's "The
Catch 1.10.82" inscription (16x20's Only). And both
are Sports Gallery Quality Framed
in thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and classic Niners
suede matting. These are great collectibles from a great moment
in Niners history that any Faithful would cherish. But hurry,
we only have a limited
number from our signing.

“
3rd and 3.....Montana....looking…
looking…throwing in the end zone...
Clark caught it!...Dwight Clark! ”
Such
is Vin Scully's Memorable Call of "The
Catch," one of the most famous moments in football
history. Born in Kinston, North Carolina, Pro Bowl wide receiver
Dwight Clark played his college football at Clemson University
before being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 10th
round of the 1979 Draft. Clark embarked on a great career
with the Niners, finishing with 506 catches, 6750 yards, 48
touchdowns and 2 Super Bowl Rings. But by far Clark's most
memorable touchdown and football moment came in the 1982 NFC
Playoffs. On January 11, 1982, against the Dallas Cowboys,
the San Francisco 49ers were trailing 27-21 in the final minute
of play to advance to the Super Bowl. Clark made a leaping
catch of a desperation pass from quarterback Joe Montana in
the back of the end zone to give the 49ers a 28-27 victory.
That great sports moment has been immortalized by the Niner
Faithful as "The Catch"
and is a big reason Clark's number 87 was retired by the 49ers.
These stunning black & white photographs and Sports
Gallery Exclusive displays celebrate this unforgettable
moment in 49er history like no other. Classy and classic,
these vintage photos were all hand-signed by Clark in bold

but more importantly, great pieces of Sports Art that would
look wonderful in any office or den. A "Can't-Miss"
gift for that special Niners fan in your life.
San Francisco 49ers Great Roger Craig joined the Niners in 1983
as a second-round draft choice out of the University of Nebraska,
where
he rushed for 2,446 yards to rank ninth on NU's all-time charts.
During his storied 49ers career he quietly became a key ingredient
of the vaunted San Francisco offense of the 1980's. The
6-foot, 219-pound running back set an NFL record for a running
back with 92 pass receptions in 1985, gaining 1,016 yards. He
also became the first player in history to gain more than 1,000
yards receiving and more than 1,000 yards rushing in a single
season. Craig was named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Year
by United Press International in 1988, when he rushed for 1,502
yards and caught 76 passes for 534 yards. An All-NFL choice
in 1988 and a four-time Pro-Bowler, Roger scored 3 touchdowns
when San Francisco beat the Miami Dolphins 38-16 in Super Bowl
XIX.This three-time
Super Bowl Champion recently visited
Sports Gallery for an exclusive signing, where he
signed these awesome photographs of himself in action. Available
in both 11x14 (great new size!) and 16x20, we've Sports

exclusive SGA signing with Roger
& Tom )
$329
What
a backfield duo! Roger Craig and Tom Rathman epitomized the
Niners "Team of the Decade"
success. Roger Craig was one of the most versatile running backs
in recent memory, becoming the first player in NFL history to
gain 1,000 yards both rushing and receiving in the same season
(1,050 yards rushing and 1,016 yards receiving in 1985) and
helping lead the Niners to three Super Bowl Championships. Fellow
Nebraska alumnus Tom Rathman was backfield mates with Roger
on the Niners. A selfless player and unsung hero in the 49ers'
success, Tom spent much of his playing time providing devastating
blocks for Craig, helping the Niners capture two World Championships.
And nothing captures their success together like this
beautiful and unique collectible. During
Roger
and Tom's
recent visits to Sports Gallery we
had them sign many unique items including this hard-to-find
photograph, showing Roger at Candlestick, hurdling over the
line (check out the knee action!) for a touchdown while Tom
did what he did best...blocking for Roger. A great, great shot,

"Big Ben" Davidson spent the bulk of his career -
nine seasons - with the Oakland Raiders, where all he did was
win...baby. Ben had a lifetime
.663 winning perentage over 18 years of regular and postseason
play (a phenomenal .720 if you take away 2 losing seasons as
a Redskin reserve). This from a player who did not even play
high school football and didn't start playing until enrolling
at East Los Angeles Junior College. Eventually a winner of two
Rose Bowls as a Washington Husky, Ben joined the Raiders in
1964. Never waw a franchise and player more meant for each other!
Davidson was an extroverted personality joining an already unruly
cast of characters. In 1965, he showed up at camp with a handlebar
mustache when facial hair was frowned upon around the league.
He's never been without it. An AFL All-Star in 1966, '67, and
'68 Ben was an important of the 1968 Super Bowl II Raider team.

You
only have to look at 49ers Tight End Vernon Davis to know that
he is a football star in the making. The dude is an absolute specimen
- big, strong, and incredibly fast. Vernon was drafted by San
Francisco in the with the sixth overall pick of the 2006 NFL Draft,
making him the third highest Tight End selection in the history
of the Draft. Upon entering the league, Davis signed to a 5-year,
$23 million deal that made him the highest paid Tight End at the
time. Vernon attended Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C. and
the University of Maryland, where in 2005 Davis was a Consensus
All-American and All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection
while leading the team with 51 receptions and the conference with
871 receiving yards (17.1 avg). Vernon finished his college career
with 1371 yards on 83 receptions for a gaudy 16.5 yards per catch,
the best average of any first round Tight End selection ever.
And in 2009, Vernon's third season, he's showing why the 49ers
put so much faith in him, leading the team in receptions and receiving
yards and amongst the League leaders in TD catches. And Vernon
was selected to participate in the Pro-Bowl, the first such honor
of his career. Definitely one of the 49ers main offensive weapons
and a key component of their future, SGA was fortunate enough
to host Vernon as part of our first-ever Niners
Mega Signing. At the signing, Vernon signed many very
cool collectibles including these great action photos. Then SGA
took over creating the Sports
Gallery Exclusive sequence displays and cool Niner-framed
photographs. A great gift for any Niners fan but hurry...we only
have a limited number

QB
Brett Favre has been the starting quarterback for the Green Bay
Packers since 1992. The winner of three consecutive NFL MVP Awards
(1995-97), Brett is without question the heart and soul of the
Packers. In 1996 Favre led the Packers to their greatest season
in 30 years. Green Bay compiled an NFL-best regular season record
of 13-3, dispatched San Francisco and Carolina at Lambeau Field
in the playoffs, and advanced to Super Bowl XXXI at the Louisiana
Superdome. Favre threw two touchdown passes over 50 yards and
scored another touchdown rushing, and the Packers won the Vince
Lombardi Trophy over the New England Patriots, 35-21. And in 2007
Brett worked the same kind of magic with the Pack leading them
to the NFC Title Game. On September 30, 2007, Favre threw a 16-yard
pass to Greg Jennings for his 421st career touchdown pass, passing
Dan Marino's total of 420 and making him the all-time career touchdown
pass leader in NFL history. They should just put Brett in the
Hall of Fame now and get it over with. These
two Sports Gallery Exclusive
Displays includes a hand-signed 8x10 photograph of
Brett's record-breaking touchdown pass (16x20 w/ special inscription),
quality framed in thick mahogany (16x20) or black wood (8x10),

wonderful moment on November 23, 1984 will never disappear. Years
later, the results are still the same: perfect throw by Doug Flutie,
perfect trajectory, and perfect landing in Gerard Phelan's hands.
Final score: Boston
College 47, Miami 45. It is one of the greatest moments
in college football's 130-year history. Doug Flutie's last-second
48-yard "Hail Mary" touchdown pass to Gerard Phelan
gave BC a thrilling 47-45 victory over Miami and secured its own
enduring place in both Boston sports and college football lore.
In reality, the ball that quarterback Doug Flutie threw with the
hope that it would be caught in the end zone by Gerry Phelan as
an the clock in the Orange Bowl ticked off the final three seconds
of an incredible game, was like the Shot
Heard 'Round The College Football World because it jolted
an entire nation the day after Thanksgiving in 1984. Just a play
that no fan of college football will ever forget. Doug Flutie

Rich
Gannon new!
$189
QB
Rich Gannon was selected by the New England Patriots out of the
University of Delaware in the 4th round of the 1987 Draft. The
Pats envisioned converting Rich to a defensive back. Thankfully,
Rich had other ideas and was quickly traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
Gannon became the Vikings' starting quarterback in 1990 but it
was February, 1999 that was the real turning point in Rich's career.
That month he was signed as a free agent by the Oakland Raiders.
Nice signing! In Oakland, Gannon excelled in Jon Gruden's west
coast offense and was voted to the Pro Bowl his first year as
a Raider - the first of four straight Pro Bowl selections. In
2000 and 2001, he won back-to-back Pro Bowl MVP Awards, a feat
achieved by no other NFL player. And In 2002 he did even better,
setting single-season completion record (418), winning the NFL
MVP Award, and leading the the Raiders to Super Bowl XXXVII. In
his 18-year career, Gannon completed 2,533 of 4,206 passes (60.2%)
for 28,743 yards and 180 touchdown passes. Not too shabby. Definitely
one of the great Raider signal callers of all time, remember Oakland's
great run of the early 2000's with this hand-signed photograph
of Rich in action. Sports Gallery Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass and classic

Former
San Francisco 49ers QB, and San Jose State graduate, Jeff Garcia
quickly became one of the elite QBs in the NFL. In his first three
seasons as a full-time starter for San Francisco, he earned Pro
Bowl honors. He was also the first quarterback in 49ers history
to throw for 30 or more touchdowns in consecutive seasons (2000
and 2001). He was also the Canadian Football League Grey Cup MVP
in 1998 while playing for the Calgary Stampeders.
Now a Philadelphia Eagle, this hand-signed (along with his #5)
action photograph of Jeff recalls his great 49er years. Quality
framed and matted in mahogany, UV-protective glass and 49er
suede matting, this is a great gift for any Garcia fan. [why

San
Francisco RB Franklin Gore (born in Coconut Grove, Florida) has
quickly developed into one of the elite running backs in the NFL.
The Sporting News' Big East Freshman of the Year at the University
of Miami, Gore was drafted by the 49ers in the third round of
the 2005 NFL Draft. In 2006, his first full season as a starter,
Frank carried the ball 312 times for a franchise record 1,695
yards, eclipsing Garrison Hearst’s 1998 record of 1,570 yards.
In so doing, he became the first member of the 49ers to lead the
NFC in rushing yards. He also set a franchise record with 2,180
combined yards (1,695 yards rushing and 485 yards receiving),
breaking Hearst’s single season record of 2,105 total yards
(1,570 rushing and 535 receiving) set in 1998. And against the
Seattle Seahawks that season, Gore set the 49ers’ single-game
rushing record by totaling 212 yards on 24 carries. After Gore’s
tremendous season, he was named the starting running back to the
NFC Pro Bowl team, as well as earning All-Pro honors. Without
a doubt the Niners running back of the future, get Gore collectibles
before they go up in value. This awesome 16x20 action photograph
of Gore eluding his a defender is hand-signed by Gore and Sports
