Fans and collectors of pre-war material who have yet to enter into the Champion and Triumph postcard world may well want to consider the terrific opportunity to do so here. Supplements with boys magazines in Great Britain were the postcards, with get this, not a single crease detected in any of the offered examples. We often say “no unsightly creases” but can claim “no creases whatsoever” here. Light scuff marks are spotted on some of the fronts, along with minor corner/edge wear but overall, we’re impressed and you should be too. The “Champion” lineup features Hall of Famers King Clancy, Aurele Joliat, Bill and Bun Cook, Hooley Smith and Marty Barry, with Mush March and Pep Kelly also contributing and Charlie Conacher and Sweeney Schriner postcards not present. The star-studded “Triumph” roster is led by HOFers Eddie Shore, Busher Jackson, Roy Worters, Ching Johnson, Sylvio Mantha and Herbie Lewis and completed by Baldy Northcott and Nick Metz. Triumphant you’ll be when you track down those of Lionel Conacher and Paul Thompson. A creased and tape-repaired Triumph folder, or “wallet” has protected the precious pieces for decades. With postcard backs featuring short write-ups and measuring approximately 3-1/2” by 5-1/2”, the scarcities and their stirring images will fascinate and delight you upon their arrival.
