My dad got this autographed postcard at Jack Dempsey's Manhattan restaurant in the 70's, when the fighter used to hang out and hobknob with the patrons. Ha ha...yes, I know this sounds like the ole "I found this in grandpa's attic" story, but it's not. My dad got a couple of these for my brothers and I back in the day. He was a huge fan.
If anyone is interested, give me a shout. I'm looking to trade for vintage baseball cards (see my general want list below).
On a side note...unsigned versions of this postcard are available on eBay, so you could pick up one of those and combine it with this autographed one to put together a pretty cool framed
'Manassas Mauler' presentation piece showing both sides of the postcard (comparable to the layout of the photos above).
If you have any questions, PLMK.
Thanks.
