The Games of the X Olympiad were held in 1932 in Los Angeles, California. Although the country lay gripped by the dark cloud of the Great Depression, the efforts exerted by the American athletes helped lift the spirits of the nation, as the U.S. tallied-up a total of 103 medals—67 more than the next closest country. Presented is a collection of seven PSA graded ticket stubs from those 1932 Olympic Games.
The group includes five stubs for various swimming events, with two slabbed PSA EX 5 and three PSA EX-MT 6. Three are from August 8th when USA's Helene Madison won gold in Women's 100M Freestyle. Two are from August 11th when USA's Eleanor Holm won gold in Women's 100M Backstroke. There are also two stubs for Track & Field events graded PSA NM-MT 8 (Aug. 3 - USA's Eddie Tolan won gold in Men's 200M) and PSA VG 3 (Aug. 7 - USA Men & Women won 4x100 meter relay gold), respectively.
