So funny story on this one:



1925 Exhibit Champions Passaic HS basketball team w/HOFer Ernest Blood (coach, on the far left).

I had been collecting the 1925 Champions set for many years. I got to 31/32 cards with this one then spent a couple of years in limbo waiting for a final card which I did not even have the name of. Turns out it was a pool player named Ralph Greenlief [sic: Greenleaf]. Eventually I decided to sell off the set except the Ruth. Less than a year later I stumble across a group of them that has not only the Greenlief but this one too. The two toughies of the set. So I bought it because there are so few known examples.

ETA: Flipped them already.
