The dark blue border on the print includes the New York Yankees logo in the upper left, the legend “#2 Derek Jeter – SS” in red in the upper right, and the caption “Ain’t I a stinka?” in white and red in the lower center. The 13 x 16-inch print is mounted in a black matte with green border and displayed in a 19 x 22-inch black metal and glass frame. The frame is chipped in the upper left and lower right corners.
