1921 Gene Sarazen W551 'Champion Golf' Hand Cut Golf Strip Rookie Card
The multi-sport 1921 card release included Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Boxer Jack Dempsey among other leading athletes of the day including the rookie card of The Squire Gene Sarazen here. It is a hand-cut strip card set with portraits of the athletes in groups of 10 from the roarin' twenties. Color remains strong with this example repaired by clear tape on back conjoining the two parts of the card. This is the first known Gene Sarazen Sports Card, hence the “Rookie” designation. These cards were all hand cut and a survivor of over 100 years. A difficult card to find in any condition so don’t pass on this opportunity, please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report.
