Exceptional Grantland Rice Signed 3x5 Index Card

with Fan's 1938 Autograph Request Letter

        The foremost sports writer of his day, Grantland Rice grew to become almost as famous as his notable subjects, which included Babe Ruth, Notre Dame football (he coined the term "Four Horsemen" for ND's backfield), and, of course, Bobby Jones. Offered here is a truly exceptional autograph of Grantland Rice. This autograph was obtained when a fan sent a letter to Rice in 1938 asking for his autograph. Included in this lot is the original fan letter and envelope, which led to this near-flawless autograph.
