Great photo of the massive legitimate wrestling World Champion Stanislaus Zbyszko which was used on his 1921 Exhibit card. Interestingly there's a typed caption on the back "killed in Russia April 6 1919" but he didn't die until 1967, and was active in wrestling through the 20's. The only theory we have is that he was thought to have been killed during the Russian Revolution but then turned up not dead. We can find no records of him mistakenly being reported dead. Unlike his brother! See the next lot for that story! A great companion piece to the complete 1921 Exhibits Wrestling subset available in lot #20
