Traverse the wide world of sports with this multi-sport collection of (29) circa 1950 period signed flats. Comprised with photos, Exhibit cards, index cards, and cuts, this exciting bundle draws from the ranks of the pros and college sports, with both players and coaches in the lineup of signers. The autographs range ("7" to "10") in potency, and the materials range from fairly crisp, to well-worn. (9) Subjects are Hall of Famers, and some of the others are considered tough acquisitions, such as MLB legend Mickey Cochrane (d.1962), and Australian Olympic swimmer John Marshall, who died in a 1957 car crash at the age of 26. Many of the autographs are personalized to the same collector, though a fair number are signature only. While most are single-signed, a few items are multi-signed.
