“ Interesting vintage tennis card. I like it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ The good old days of tobacco cards. I like it, wish they had still done tobacco cards when I smoked, got nothing from all the packs I smoked except a dry cough. As for the card, how can you not like it for something almost 100 years old it still looks better than many new cards. ” -davidhandberry

“ Awesome vintage ladies tennis card. I never thought I would be typing that sentence. ” -muskie027

“ Nice old time vintage. Somehow the picture being "sideways" doesn't bother me in the way a modern card doing the same thing bugs me. ” -captkirk42

“ 1924 precursor to the benchwarmers series. I like it. ” -parsley24

“ Tremendous! Love it! ” -cjjt

Awesome. This is why I LOVE this database. What a weird, old, odd card I never knew existed.

Love seeing vintage cards. ------------------------------- Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

I just submitted an IR for the set name on this one, it should not contain 'Olsonarch'. While being a prominent collector of the set, he had nothing to do with it's creation.

Nice vintage card. Mademoiselle (that's what Mlle on the card means) Suzanne Lenglen is a French legend of tennis. The centre court stadium of the Roland Garros grand slam tournament is named after her. ------------------------------- Cardphlix: My Trading Card Youtube Channel

We change the name of sets because of Jefferson Burdick, so it doesn't surprise me that we are changing the names for this guy.

We shouldn't, though.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

For some reason I think this card is quite striking. Sometimes less really is more. She is also on card #1 in the set. I don't like that one as much.
