Here's a Track and Field pickup. This is the C52 version of the set, which are pretty difficult. I haven't come across more than maybe 5 or so of any single card over the last 20 years. 92/109 down, which I am happy about.
Porter is a significant card as the guy who sued the ATC over image rights; his card likely confirms that the C52's were printed very close in time together to T218 and it is perhaps not proper to consider them a separate set. He won the Gold in the High Jump at the 1908 Olympics. He helped found the Society of Industrial Engineers in 1907 when he was at his athletic peak. Seems to have led a rather varied life.

These were in a group of items I purchased. I don't collect cards, but I took everything in the lot. At some point I will try to move them along. The images include Churchman 'Kings of Speed', Phillips 'Sporting Champions', Phillips 'Olympic Champions of 1928', Turf Cigarettes, Park Drive 'Champions', Illingsworth? 'Sporting Events and Stars', Ardath 'Photocards', Kop Aroma and some of the T cards. Included, but not shown are also some of the boxers from the 'Sporting Champions' set; including Carnera, La Barba and Paolini

Edwin Moses
Great thread Peter - I got interested in track and field when my son started running for his junior high and high school. I remember Moses being one of the more dominant figures for what seemed like a decade or more. This is one of the only track and field cards i own.
