Hi Carlton, that's really great detective work on the football print and a beautiful 'Renegades' print! There have been a handful of this particular Prang baseball print that have sold at different auction houses over the past few years. I actually picked this one up on ebay and it is truly a beautiful piece. The print itself measures 21.5" x 14.5" and is framed out to ~30" x 24". Overall, it's in great condition with some toning but no tears. There has been some speculation that the player sliding into second base is King Kelly. I think there's another more well known (and more expensive) chromolithograph print by Prang which includes Anson.
