This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
Seven overflowing albums of the popular but hard-to-find La Presse color insert prints depicting the most famous athletes of the day. The seven albums, two from 1927 and then one each from the following years running up to 1932, feature a complete set of the 72 hockey prints with Morenz, Vezina, Shore, Clancy and others. Other sports included are baseball with a nice Babe Ruth and Lefty Grove, boxing with Max Schmelling, wrestling, tennis, golf with Gene Sarazen, swimming, yachting and other sportive pastimes. Added up, there are 246 prints in total within the folios. Overall condition is excellent to near mint. Colors are strong and vivid and they appear to be crease free. The lion’s share is still in the newspaper and the complete papers have been bound into the albums for their respective year. Please email or call for a more detailed listing of what is included.
