Offered here is a beautiful Jesse Owens card from the 1936 Berlin Olympischen Speilen Presse-Bild-Zentrale Braemer & Güll series. The image captures a smiling Owens in his USA Track & Field warm-up during his historic gold-medal sweep at the 1936 Summer Olympics, with Berlin's Olympiastadion in the background. The photograph reflects not only his athletic triumph, but also his courageous defiance of Nazi Germany's racially charged propaganda. For some reason, the card is graded just VG-EX 4 by PSA, with just one other example in the authenticator's population report. With sharp corners, smooth edges, snow-white borders and a clean surface, it present far better than the assigned grade. Great candidate for a crackout and resubmission, perhaps to SGC who has more experience evaluating cards from this German-produced set.
