1998 Frank Thomas Charitable Foundation "Lend A Hand" Print
#'d 10,000 • 19"W x 26"H
Another fantastic Big Hurt item. A donation afforded you this great "hand print" print (get it?). Despite a stated run of 10,000, this was the very first time I've ever seen this particular collectible in 16 years of gathering Big Frank material.

Given the amount of the print run I suspect you won't have to pay too much to obtain a copy for your own collection, but the shipping (if my copy was any example) is going to be quite steep.

Note: There were several co-sponsors of this event, as seen on the bottom of the print. They included: Fox Sports Chicago, The Chicago Sun-Times, WSCR Score Sports Radio, and Cellular One.

Collector's Note: The accompanying 'thank you' letter makes mention that Frank made the handprint during a
break at spring training camp Tuscon, Arizona (Cactus League), March 19, 1998. (see images below)
