Help Requested Pls - Boxing Wire Photos
 

Hello!

I typically collect baseball and I am out of my depth with these. I picked them up in a lot and was wondering what the value might be on these? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Chris:

Rather than being a wirephoto, the Dempsey looks to be a studio promo shot, the kind that might have been packaged in a press kit. Still, it's a neat image in good shape, and Dempsey is always popular. Figure $75-$100. The Braddock is an original wirephoto and should fetch in the $45-$60 range. The postcard, being that it's banged up and the autograph is personalized, would be $25-$35. Hope this helps.

Thanks!
 

Thanks very much! I appreciate the info.

I may put these on the B/S/T section as they don't fit my collection. If anyone is interested?

The Dempsey is a studio publicity still. The number scratched into the negative by the feet of the man on the left is a production number that identifies the film for the studio. It is not a production still or a lobby card since it doesn't show a scene from the movie or have any promotional data on it. I'd estimate value more like $15-$35.
