From The Experts
This is one of the keys to an incredibly difficult set. Knute Rockne is simply the most popular coaching figure in football history - a history filled with several great coaches. While Rockne was known for being a perfectionist and the ultra-disciplinarian, his motivational speeches are what made him famous, and they came in all forms. After trailing at the half in one game, a disgusted Rockne stormed into the Notre Dame locker room with his players expecting a serious verbal lashing. Instead, Rockne calmed down and simply said, "Let's go girls." Needless to say, The Irish went on to victory. His famous "Win one for the Gipper" speech that inspired Notre Dame to upset Army, is one of his most memorable orations. Rockne finished his career with an astonishing 105-12-5 record, which included six National Championships (1919, 1920, 1924, 1927, 1929 and 1930) and five undefeated seasons. In 1931, right in the prime of his coaching career, Rockne perished in a plane crash. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. This card measures approximately 2 2/8" by 2 7/8" and it is, without question, one of the toughest on the list with poor centering as the most noteworthy condition obstacle.

Great story behind it wow. The condition doesn't look that bad to me - it seems like it may have some surface issues that must be why the grade is what it is.
In any case, congrats. I used to be somewhat into vintage and I've never even seen the card.

Thanks, yeah it's not in bad shape, has a stain on upper right portion on his head. I never dreamed I'd own one, this is the first I've seen in person.
