Default Show some new stuff!

Time to see some new acquisitions:

I collect fighter-issued promotional photos. I have long wanted an early Cassius Clay piece. Here it is, from January 1964, a month before he would win the title from Liston and 'come out' as a Muslim under the name Muhammad Ali. The letter has the usual tri-fold for a regular envelope and in person you can see where the photo pressed against it. Both letter and picture have the preprinted Cassius Clay on it:



And his opponent:



Also picked up this early Max Schmeling promo:

Great Johnson. If it's a T206 Honus, it's probably a 4 or 5 LOL!

Al,

That was me - sorry.

It looks better than 40s that I have owned - good registration. Hey, but I want to be like you when I grow up and own a Red Sun JJ - fantastic card! How many copies extant; do you know?

John,

I guess I underbid, but glad that you got it... much, much better than most that I have seen... but had just picked on the JJ Red Sun, so I backed off a bit.

Glad you have it... and do let me know if it needs a new home someday...

Al

My first post over on this side of forum I believe. I dabble in boxing cards from time to time, I believe this is Braddocks first card, correct me if I'm wrong with that. I also just posted about a Dempsey exhibit with a possible signature? on the autograph side of forum if any experts here want to take a look....thanks

I believe it is Braddock's 'rookie' card.

He could be seen entering the ring with Jack Johnson during the James Jeffries fight.

Last photo is Burns looking through a telescope type device on a naval ship.
