Featured in this lot is an outstanding example of one of the more popular cards in the entire realm of Football cards, a 1935 National Chicle #9 Knute Rockne that has been graded NM/MT+ 92(8.5) by SGC. Four stalwart NM/MT+ or MINT corners frame a wonderful rendition of what many consider the finest Football coach in history! The surface of the card is encircled by lightly antiqued white borders that hold within their realm a wonderfully powerful image of the great leader full of a colorful blue and gold background that acts as a balance for the perfectly focused image of Rockne. The centering does show a slight preference for the left edge which quite possibly may have been the one stumbling block to a MINT grade from the conservative New Jersey based grading organization. The reverse is a blue inked bio set against the aforementioned antique white stock that provides the viewer a pleasing image void of any pitfalls. A stunning card offered in superlative NM/MT+ condition that is unsurpassed on record at SGC.
