The thrills of Olympics past are recalled with this collection of graded cards and an album. From the troubled times of the 1930s that saw the world stricken by the "Great Depression" to the dawn of the "feel good" Eisenhower era, comes this lot of (8) Olympics items with (7) 1932-1952 cards graded by either PSA or BVG, plus a well-preserved souvenir photo album from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. These handsome collectibles have literally made the grade, with the cards all rated in a range of EX-MT to NM-MT and the album reporting in overall excellent condition. Featured are:
