Baseball players Pete Rose, Stan Musial, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, and Ernie Banks signed in bold, vivid gold paint. Rose Musial, Mantle, and Banks each added an inscription.
NFL Hall of Famer Roger Staubach signed in gold paint, inscribing his number 12. Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull signed and Gordie Howe each signed the piece, adding inscriptions as well.
Most impressively, Cassius Clay, now known as Muhammad Ali, signed the piece across the print’s center.
