1951 Union Chox Jean Baratte France Lille unused card

Jean Baratte, very clean unused card from the 'Le Grands Champions du Sport' series, issued in 1951 by Union Chox.

The card is generally superb, a little curl - naturally, from the gloss of the printing - and some barrel (printing-drum) lines across the card, very feint only seen against the light, with one tiny paper fault at the rear top. I am certain it has never been glued down because the back is so very clean but there is a 2mm x 0.5mm fleck of loose paper along the top edge, rear, though no thinning can be seen thus I think it's a very feint paper fault which barely detracts from the beauty of this gem.
