Description

Take your best swing at this 1942-1951 Golden Age sports-themed comic book collection (20). Headlining this offering are baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella and Larry Doby, in self-titled issues. Comic books from this era are famously short in supply, as most collectors are intent on holding onto to their prized copies. A search for these sports-themed issues quickly reveals that available examples are relatively few in number. When offered, it almost always on an individual basis, so discovering so many in a bundle makes for a great find.
