The most important image from Tom Harmon's Football career and arguably one of the most iconic college football photos ever taken is this masterpiece. After single handedly beating Ohio State 40-0 (scoring or passing for four touchdowns, kicking four extra points and intercepting three passes) he hung up his jersey for good, but not before displaying his famous number for the camera. This image has been reproduced a million times, but this is a completely vintage example from 11-24-1940 with a date stamp on the back! The condition is nice and the quality is really good.
