Lot #206 1928 W565 Uncut Sheet w/Lou Gehrig Beckett 1

A scarce and desirable 1920s uncut sheet, these hardly ever come to market. A very unusual issue, these check in at 25 cards. The cards all have a red background. The first twenty cards all cover entertainment, with Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor and John Barrymore. The bottom five cards are sports: baseball players Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri and Al Simmons with two secondary boxers. The sheet has a chip at the upper left conrner and other condition issues, it displays nicely overall. The Gehrig card has some surface nicks but displays well, the unusual colored back has some staining and is not bad at all. Neat piece.
