I believe I found my white whale!

For my Canes room I was missing a Jim Otto signed 8x10 in a Canes uniform. There are tons of 8x10's in a Raiders uniform, but could never find one with him at Miami. Otto wore #50 at Miami, and from my research, also wore the #50 as a rookie with the Raiders. Can't tell if this picture is his 1st year with the Raiders, or still at Miami. However, with the Canes inscription I will consider my whale harpooned!

    Awesome. Big Raiders fan....and of course Otto.

    I think this is canes for sure. This stance is on both his Topps and fleer Rookie cards. This pic looks like it was taken on a field (background trees) with weeds. Otto's Fleer is on grass but not same jersey. Much different haircut (looks a younger style).

    Thank you! Looking at your 1961 Fleer Otto, which is an awesome card, I'm thinking my 8×10 is in a Canes uniform. Otto does look really young in my photo of him.
