1921 Gene Sarazen W551 'Champion Golf' Hand Cut Golf Strip Rookie Card CGC Authentic
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. This is the first known Gene Sarazen Sports Card, hence the “Rookie” designation. These cards were all hand cut and given its age of over 100 years we find this card to be in good condition with a border around the whole image. It has been graded Authentic and encapsulated by CGC. A very difficult card to find in any condition so don’t pass on this opportunity.
