Default NSCC Aventures in Boxing

Just recovering from attending the convention. I had a blast! While there I had the opportunity to meet fellow board member/boxing aficionado, Adam Warshaw. I had a 2012-13 copy of his book "America's Great Boxing Cards"; he graced it with his John Hancock.



Had a photo-op with Lou Savarese, and had him sign my 1991 KAYO.



Had a photo-op with Mike Tyson, and had him sign my 2006 Allen & Ginter. Tyson's people would not allow any other pictures after the photo-op; tight security with an armed police officer.



Picked up a card I was looking for. A Manny Pacquiao, 1999, World Boxing card.



After Two years of aggravation, Beckett reholdered my BVG, 1966 Panini, Cassius Clay #377. It had an old label and the serial # got screwed up in their data base.


I also picked up a JSA Authenticated, Ali autograhed brochure.



Had a good time! Will be posting some baseball and basketball in another thread.

Good to meet you, Herb. I see you found the Ali autograph you were after.

I hated AC but had some fun at the show, as always. Riddick Bowe was there at his own table on Friday (or Saturday; I kind of lost track) and I got him to sign a ticket from a Holyfield bout.



Also got to chat with him about his career.

Overall, I saw more boxing material at the show than in prior years, but nothing really earth-shattering. I am chasing some pretty obscure issues at this point, so I don't expect to find much on my want list. Besides the Bowe ticket, I only picked up two boxing cards, a Vendorlandus Ali from a junk box and a Felix Potin Carpentier for my type card collection. I also got this 1981 invitation to the Kronk pre-fight party before Hearns-Leonard I:



It is actually two 'gloves' joined at the top with a red cover and the invite printed inside but I couldn't get the whole thing on my scanner.

Adam, It's good that you found a few interesting items for your collection. The main thing is that you had fun.
Having patience paid off for me. The Ali brochure was exactly what I was looking for. The dealer was very fair compared to some others. I wanted to show it to you, but you're a hard guy to keep up with.

Wish I had known that Riddick was at the show. I would have found something to have him sign.

At the Natty all you see is a blur Can't find good cards hanging around a booth.
