When I saw this I had to post my rarest of rare tennis cards. I only own it for a few more days so this is more of a farewell.

it is a fun sport to watch. I used to watch with my father all the time when I was a kid. My favorites were Roscoe Tanner and Jimmy Connors.

Yeah, that's on my list, the only ones I have seen (not this high grade) have been priced prohibitively. Connors in that issue too.

That's cool. I had never heard of him until recently looking into the Wheaties panels in my FILs collection. Sounds like he led a long life.

And he apparently survived the ordeal.

I had 2 Conners that I sold to finance this Martina. Unfortunately, I need to sell this to finance my next grail card. It's the highest graded copy known to exist. We had a wonderful 2 years together but there is so much other stuff out there to collect.

If anyone is looking for relatively cheap Conner rookies, his 1976 Nabisco Tennis card can be had for under $20 raw. Most people don't know that he is featured with his doubles partner on that card.

There's a 4.5 Americana Munchen Connors on ebay, but the price seems too high to me.
