McGraw Sparta Greece Sports Card. This original vintage sports exhibit trading card features boxer Phil McGraw, noted as hailing from Sparta, Greece, presented in a classic full-figure pugilistic stance set against a bold red background. Produced during the golden era of vintage arcade and sports card distribution, cards from the Exhibit Supply Co. or similar period arcade vendors hold strong crossover appeal among vintage boxing collectors, sports memorabilia enthusiasts, and early trading card archivists. Unbranded/Exhibit Supply Co. style, estimated c. 1920s–1930s, lithographed ink on heavy paper cardstock, marked "PHIL McGRAW / SPARTA, GREECE" at lower left, measures standard exhibit card size approximately 3.375 x 5.375 inches. Shows expected signs of age including surface staining/mottling visible across the front face, corner softening with a minor bump at the bottom right corner, edge wear, and subtle reverse edge discoloration; no major creases, heavy tears, or paper loss observed. See photos for close-up details.
