This colorful piece of art depicting 24 “cards” from the most spectacular multi-sport card issue ever produced presents wonderfully even if the technical grade is at the lower end, with many of the biggest names in sports from the Depression Era shown to great effect on the 14-by-14 ½-inch paper sheet. As noted, the sheet presents better than its technical grade, revealing only a few pinholes and some of the light crinkling and wear at the folds that are typical for the genre. A lineup that includes the likes of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange and Jack Dempsey also features Tunney, Hagen, Tilden, Morenz, Shore and Kahanamoku. Not surprisingly, a colorful card issue translates nicely in this elegant display piece.
