Approx. 50 sports wire shots from the '20s-'30s. All original, many with the original caption sheets still stuck onto the back. Includes some terrific candids of Cub HOFers Gabby Hartnett, Hack Wilson (dubbed a "portly gentleman" in the caption on a shot of him taking a massive cut), Rogers Hornsby and manager Joe McCarthy, Jimmie Foxx legging out a hit in the '29 WS, an amazing Red Grange in a bowtie (signed "To George from Red"), an Associated Press wire photo of Left Gomez from 1930, a Notre Dame-USC game shot, a relaxed pre-fight snap of Tommy Loughran, featherweight champ Andre Routis, Wightman Cup champ Betty Nuthall, shotputter Harlow Rothert, many more -- incredible variety! Also 4 rare vintage fight programs featuring the likes of Johnny Romero, and some early aerial shots thrown in for good measure. Photos generally 8 x 10 and G-VG.
