Description: you are bidding on a 1963 KTAV PUBLISHING "JEWISH SPORTS CHAMPIONS" LILLIAN COPELAND CARD. THE "CHAMPIONS" CARDS WERE INSIDE THE "JEWISH SPORTS CHAMPIONS" PROGRAM/PUBLICATION. THE CARDS HAVE BEEN CLEANLY SEPERATED/CUT AT THE BORDERS, ARE THICKER MAGAZINE-TYPE STOCK PAPER - THICKER THAN WRITING TABLET PAPER AND THINNER/LIGHTER THAN A MODERN BASEBALL CARD. THEY MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 2 1/4" x 3 1/8". LILLIAN WAS AN AMERICAN TRACK & FIELD ATHLETE WHO IS WIDELY CONSIDERED THE FINEST AMERICAN WOMAN ATHLETE OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY. SHE WAS AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND SET THE WORLD RECORD 6 TIMES EACH IN THE SHOT PUT, DISCUS & JAVELIN THROW - FEATS WELL BEYOND THE ABILITIES OF THE CURRENT CROP OF "STARS". HER LIST OF ACHIEVEMENTS WOULD BE EVEN GREATER BUT SHE STEPPED AWAY FOR 3 YEARS AT THE HEIGHT OF HER POWERS TO FOCUS ON LAW SCHOOL, AND AS A JEW LATER CHOSE TO BOYCOTT THE 1936 OLYMPIC GAMES IN HITLER'S NAZI GERMANY. VERY SCARCE & CLEAN - BEAUTIFUL CARD! buyer will pay $1.99 for USPS shipping. i accept PAYPAL. please see my other auctions including MORE SCARCE "JEWISH SPORTS CHAMPIONS" CARDS, sets, unopened packs, autographs, rookies, jerseys and much more. good luck bidding and THANK YOU.
