1926 Spalding Sports Company of America Cards: Buy some cards and get some gear!

Professional football was still in its infancy when A. G. Spalding & Bros. issued a multi-sport card set in 1926. These historic cards were issued under Spalding's SPORTS COMPANY OF AMERICA imprint and contained a wide variety of outstanding sports subjects. Fourteen football players are included in the cards Spalding produced that year. A separate Harold "Red" Grange card was part of a promotion for the set.

They are rare in the extreme.
