Karl Schafer's Compulsory Figure Skating Flip Books

[Isk8NYC]

To quote Harry Potter: "Brilliant!"

When Karl Schafer (of "Schafer Push" fame) was a skater, there was no YouTube, nor could you share videos easily.

Some Austrian genius made flip books of Schafer skating 24 different compulsory figures and packaged them as a set.

There's an eBay auction on this collection in great condition.  $50 opening bid, plus shipping.
