1930 -31 Giovanni Ferrari on a card by Falci / Farabola, made around the time of the 1930-31 international seasons, maybe for the Coppa Internazionale 1931. Note the early shirt. It has an early-design fascist symbol. Ferrari would go on to win 2 World Cup winners medals, in 1934 and1938 and he played in both finals, WC34 and WC38 ! This card a postcard. As a redemption card it was issued, at a cost, by an Italian sports newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport (not noted on the card). These cards were NOT given away. The cards had to be acquired through saving coupons and sending away, hence their rarity today. SOLD AS SEEN
