The Galloping Ghost (Mascot, 1931). One Sheet (27  X 41 )
The Galloping Ghost (Mascot, 1931). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This was a 12-episode serial starring legendary college football star Harold "Red" Grange. As a 3-time All-America at the University of Illinois, Grange brought the first huge crowds to pro football when he signed with the Chicago Bears in 1925. He formed the first AFL with manager-promoter C.C. Pyle in 1926, but the league folded and he returned to the Bears. In this serial, Grange plays -- you guessed it -- a gridiron star who's been wrongfully kicked off the football team for trying to help a friend, who conspired with gamblers to throw the big game. Grange spends the serial's remaining 11 episodes trying to clear his name. This one sheet is generally regarded as the international release poster for this serial. Fine. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
