This is the 1935 Muratti Cigarette Card from Germany of Jesse Owen. I know there are numbers of cards of him in the year 1936 during the Olympic, but this is probably the earliest card I have seen. Is this considered his rookie card? thanks

Just this one card. Want to get his rookie card since I read about his biopic is coming out next year, always admire what Mr Owens did in Olympics 1936.

<< <i>no crease as far as I can tell. thinking about crossing it over to PSA 6, although the BVG case is quite nice >>
I would crack and sub to psa. The card looks like a solid 8 at least. I may be missing some minor flaw. Regardless. You have a great card with very solid eye appeal. This is also much harder to find than many of his cards from 1936.
