1926 Spalding Champions "Sports Company of America" Johnny Weissmuller PSA 8+

Description: 1926 Spalding Champions Johnny Weissmuller -- PSA 8 Sport of Swimming. Sports Company of America. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. An outstanding card possessing four Gem Mint corners. 60/40 centering, and bright white borders. One of the key cards in the Spalding Champions series. Very challenging to find in top grade. Weissmuller won 3 gold medals in swimming in the 1924 Paris Olympics and added two more in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. He would go on to star as Tarzan in twelve successive movies for MGM. This card comes directly from the family of the original owner, who accumulated a small hoard of 1926 Sports Company of America (aka Spalding "Champions of Sport") unopened packs. As such, it originated from the only significant group of high-grade 1926 Spalding Champion cards ever discovered (about 23 years ago) and includes both the original scrip card and small, card-sized envelope. Be careful of other, high-grade examples--no other 1926 Spalding cards, outside of this group, have the same, solid provenance.
