(2) 1926-27 W512 strip cards (Tennis Stars) #36 Bill Tilden and #33 Helen Wills low grade as pictured.
Helen Wills won 31 Grand Slam Titles and is a member of the Tennis International Hall of Fame. Her record of eight Wimbledon titles was broken by Martina Navratilova in 1990. Upon her death at age 92 she had bequeathed 10 million dollars to the University of California Berkeley to fund the establishment of a Neuroscience institute. The resulting institute, the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, began in 1999 and is home to more than 70 faculty researchers and graduate students.
Tennis International Hall of Famer Bill Tilden was the first American man to win Wimbledon, taking the title in 1920. Tilden dominated the world of international tennis in the first half of the 1920s, and during his 20-year amateur period from 1911 to 1930, won 138 of 192 tournaments he contested. Tilden is considered by some to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
PayPal friends/family. Shipping is $1 in a plain white envelope. In the event the envelope is lost in the mail, I’ll refund 1/2 the purchase amount to the buyer. This just seems fair to me. I can guarantee I will drop the envelope in the mail. Rather than mail a plain white envelope at buyers risk, we can share the risk. I combine shipping.
