Jerry, that's a very cool card. I've just discovered Mutoscope cards in the last year or so and would love to pick up a set one day.
I just picked up a boxing program from the first Zale-Graziano fight. I missed the auction for the second fight (I am a Graziano fan and would have loved to have gotten it) because "Rocky" wasn't in the title and that's how I did my search. Arghhh. But I love the cover of this program and am excited about getting it. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/9-27-46-TONY-...TDw~~60_57.JPG |

Not a new pickup per se, since I got it a few years ago, but had lost track of it until a few weeks ago, so I just had it graded and got back from PSA. Looks nicer than a 2, but minor creases and back staining make the grade correct.

Some Jim Jeffries material:
Ticket and raincheck from the Jeffries Barn boxing arena here in Burbank: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...n%20ticket.jpg An invitation and two tickets [front and back shown] to a 1941 dinner of the California Boxing Commission honoring Jeffries: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...g%20Dinner.jpg Business card of the manager of Jeffries Barn, G.W. Aiton. Interestingly, Aiton was a former MLB player. He played in 10 games for the 1912 St. Louis Browns: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...rd%20Aiton.jpg Two newly discovered Jeffries mail reply cards. I'd previously cataloged a card used to respond to mail about his 75th birthday: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...ly%20cards.jpg Jeffries Barn letterhead signed by Aiton: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...letterhead.jpg And a vintage snapshot of Rocky Marciano at training camp: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...apshot%201.jpg PS: I now have one of the Jeffries 75th birthday mail reply cards available for sale or trade. Only the 2nd one I've seen. Minor back damage from scrapbook removal http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...20birthday.jpg |
James Jeffries T218 Tolstoi

This beauty arrived today. Am glad to finally add him to my set after several missed opportunities over the years. I hope you can see in the picture that the back has a faint print outline (faded red/pink) that appears to mirror the front of image of the card. Notice that the left/right elbows are reversed. Is this likely a wet sheet transfer?

Yup, and a Tolstoi too. Very nice. Here's one of the other pose:

Picked up both of these yesterday. Jack Johnson and Jess Willard Cuba postcard and glass lantern slide of John L Sullivan.

Splendid, Kenny! That Sullivan-Kilrain image was used on the Romeo y Julieta card:
