Colorful and clean cardboard advertising display featuring "ace golfer" Sam Snead, endorsing Granger pipe tobacco.  One of several Granger display ads of the era to feature pro athletes, this example measures approximately 14 1/2" x 20", a colorful green and yellow.  Snead himself signed the upper-right corner in thick, blue Sharpie, adding additional display value to the piece.  Condition appears EX, but close inspection reveals a cross at the lower right, and some additional surface wear and dirt.  The display has been affixed with shrink-wrap to a cardboard backing.  Since the piece was photographed, it was authenticated by James Spence Authentication, who unfortunately broke the shrink film at the lower left, and affixed their JSA decal to the front (which is not pictured in the image).  Obviously, authenticated by James Spence Authentication, with basic cert provided.
