Carl LamendolaI picked this up 10 years ago from an oldtime collector who stopped collecting in the 1970's. Sport Company of America solicited all the big names to get their permission on the card. They sent a few samples. Apparently, some big names like Red Grange and Ty Cobb (See the BMW offering on Ebay) never gave permission. If they signed up they were given 500 samples. This would make this his "rookie" card, I beleive. Notwithstanding the Shotwell sets. I do have a few other Grange's from the same era, but its difficult to pin a date on them. I believe this card was issued in 1925.
