Dig up the Golden Gophers 1929 brain trust, with this Type I Minnesota football team photo. This 5x7 photograph is affixed to a 7x9 cardboard backer. Written across the bottom of the photo, is the identification "Minnesota Coaching Staff 1929". The subjects are head coach Clarence Spears (College HOF), assistant coach "Dutch" Bergman, 1903 first "Little Brown Jug" game Minnesota QB Sig Harris (Jewish HOF), ends coach Eddie Lynch, and 1929 Gophers center George MacKinnon, who went on to serve as a U.S. Attorney, Judge, and Congressman. A couple of horizontal surface cracks near the top, force a Vg rating, however display appeal is ample. Certainly describable as a rare photo, it's possible this Type I print is the only example of this shot still in existence. Comes with an LOA from Bergman's estate. Opening Bid $50.
