1925 Photograph of Harold "Red" Grange on the bench with his new Chicago Bears teammates but before he ever suited up with them. The large paper caption on the back notes that he will make his debut the next week and change the game of football forever! This is a famous image but this represents the lone vintage example we have ever seen! Offered here fresh from the archives of Underwood and Underwood, this has a tiny rip at the top (hard to see) which has been reinforced on the back with tape, and a corner chip, but otherwise it presents beautifully.
