Good afternoon gents,
I'm a longtime collector of Baseball, Basketball & Football cards who has become increasingly interested in cards from other sports such as Golf, Boxing & Tennis. I think I'm one of about four collectors that gives a rip about Tennis cards. However, Boxing and Golf seem to have a relatively strong following. I've also seen lots of interest in cards from sports like Wrestling, Racing and even Soccer. I thought it might be interesting to start a thread for people to both discuss and showcase cards they have or have picked up from these less mainstream sports.
These threads are pretty boring without scans, so I'll get it started. Here are three 1929 German Cigarette cards that feature two HOF tennis players (and two favorites of mine) - Bill Tilden (USA) and Rene Lacoste (France). You'll notice there are three different backs on these cards and I believe there is one other back variation, as well.
