3 1930s Time Magazines with Tennis Covers Including Don Budge.
Lot 406. 3 1930s Time Magazines with Tennis Covers Including Don Budge. All three players are in the International Tennis Hall of Fame. The Sept. 2, 1935 issue features Budge, an American who, in 1938, became the first player to win the Grand Slam of tennis. Covering along the spine is completely missing. Except for a few tiny indentations along the top edge, the cover itself is close to pristine. Frederick John Perry preceded Budge, adorning the cover of the Sept. 3, 1934 issue. Ex. Perry is generally considered to be Great Britain’s greatest tennis player. Gottfried von Cramm of Germany is on the Sept. 13, 1937 cover. Very close to ex. Graceful on the court, he was one of the most popular tennis players of his era. At the height of his career, he declined to support Hitler, and the Gestapo imprisoned him in 1938. He had a successful business career after World War II. All copies are without labels.
Winning Bid $30.
