1949 Sports Champions Exhibit Set on one Uncut sheet.
Lot 18. 1949 Sports Champions Exhibit Set on one Uncut sheet. Possibly "one-of-a-kind" sheet representing the entire rare 1949 printing of this popular sports set. In 1948, 32 cards were issued in black and white or green of 32 athletes. The 1949 issue was in blue, and featured 14 new subjects to be added to the original 32 issued in 1948. These are all considerably rarer than the 1948’s. Ben Hogan was added and his card alone has gone for over $2,000 in one of our previous auctions. Other key additions are Joe Fulks and Andy Phillips in basketball, and Marion Motley, Bob Waterfield and Glen Dobbs in football. Additional information on this set can be seen on our web page by clicking the Old Judge link and going to the end of the article. The sheet has some creasing in several places, but is overall in very good condition.
Minimum Bid $2,000.
