Date Sold 6/26/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 8 1980s REPRODUCTION lobby cards from Chapter 1 of King of the Texas Rangers, the 1941 John English & William Witney cowboy western adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters") starring Slingin' Sammy Baugh ("The Football Sensation"), Neil Hamilton, Pauline Moore, Duncan Renaldo, Kermit Maynard, Roy Barcroft, Rudolph Anders, and Kenne Duncan. Slingin' Sammy Baugh (born Samuel Adrian Baugh) was a famous professional football sports player was a Texas college star quarterback at TCU University. In 1937, he signed with the Washington Redskins and became a star there. Interestingly, he played minor league baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals the next year, but he remained with the Redskins. In 1941, he was signed by Republic Pictures to star in this movie, where he was billed as "The Football Sensation". The movie was a huge success, and Republic wanted him to make more movies, but Sammy much preferred playing pro football to acting in movies, and he retired, except for a minor appearance in 1948's "Triple Threat", where he played a "Professional Football Player". Note that these come from a man who collected serial lobby cards for decades. He knew that there were some serial cards that were SO scarce that he might never acquire them, so when he would encounter another collector who had ones he didn't have, he would often pay them to have color copies made (they look like they were made on a color copier), and most were on a fairly thin paper, but some were on a heavy stock, and you can tell which kind of paper each lot of repros is by looking at our condition area below. We are auctioning all of his repro serial lobby cards in many bulk lots (there are no others).
