Bronko Nagurski Exhibit Card
From a mid-1930s wrestling set. I forgot I had this scan. Now, does anyone have one of these lying around?

A few years ago I was told there was one example known.

I should add that I got the information from a guy who maintains extensive checklists for the wrestling Exhibit cards, so his information would be reliable. Also, he told me at the time time that it was a recent discovery. It was known the card may exist, as the original art existed (I owned the original art, which I got from the Exhibit Supply President), but until the discovery of the single example the actual finished card had not been seen. I'm no exhibit or wrestling expert, but I had a bunch of the original exhibit wrestling art, so I provided for the checklist the 'ghost cards'-- cards where there was original art but no known card. Initially, the Nagurski was listed as one of the ghost cards.

my memory stinks.....but i think i remember the photo/art on ebay about 8/9 years ago. am i correct??.....or was it lew??? and wasn't there only one bidder?? i think the ebay auction even called it a phantom proof as no card was known to exist.
i didn't collect exhibits at the time, but saw it while collecting chicles....so forgive the memory..... |

I sold the original art on eBay. If I recall correctly, it sold for around $600.
I don't know how or where the card sold, as I heard about it second hand afterward. I know Exhibit Supply made proofs, as some of the art had instruction sheets on back listing how many proofs were to be made. Below is the original art. The background and name is all painted in.
