I saw this card at a show and thought the colors looked great, so I decided to get it.
Lunghi won a silver medal at the 1908 London Olympics in the 800 meters. He was Italy's first track and field star and won national titles in 6 different running events. He also competed in the 1912 Olympics and coached at the 1920 & 1924 games.
"The Fighting Dentist" Cross was a durable lightweight contender with a fan friendly style. He was fast on his feet but liked to brawl, which made him a box office draw. He was also a dentist, having earned his degree from New York University during the early part of his career.
Just picked this card up at a show last weekend. I love the background, with the spectators in tuxedos!
I took a look online at some of the other cards from this set and the art work is really nice. Colorful portraits with unique backgrounds. Going to be on the look out for more of these!
