Nastase79 |
 |
Very rare UN-gummed card. This is from a series of
cards (about typical, smaller gum card size) issued ONLY in Spain,
in 1979, called "World Aces of Sport". Unusually, for a large cards
issue, these cards were designed to be glued-down into an album -
and most were. Which means, today, most often they are found either
glued-down into, or removed from albums. SMALLER TYPE (of the two
known sizes for these cards) Nastase. Romanian tennis legend of
the 1970s. Excellent condition card. Only 1 in stock - probably
never to be re-stocked due to scarcity.
