Featured are:

T221 Champion Women Swimmers (64) cards, with a partial set of (61/100), and (3) duplicates. (2) cards are graded by SGC, with #10 Rose Pitonof (FR 1.5), and #27 Odiva (GD 2). While most of the subjects in the set are obscure, Annette Kellerman is the most famous, as she was also a period film star, best remembered for being the first major actress to perform a nude scene in a Hollywood production.
