Graded MINT 9 by SGC. Qualities include four Gem Mint corners, perfect centering, good image quality, and a fine reverse side. Should have been graded Gem Mint. This is the hobby's highest graded example with only two other comparable cards—both PSA 9s. This card comes directly from the family of the original owner, who accumulated a small hoard of 1926 Sports Company of America (aka Spalding "Champions of Sport") unopened packs. As such, it originated from the only significant group of high-grade 1926 Spalding Champion cards ever discovered (about 22 years ago) and includes both the original scrip card and small, card-sized envelope. Be careful of other, high-grade examples--no other 1926 Spalding cards, outside of this group, have the same, solid provenance.
