Here is my favorite Louis Rookie.
Hate to burst your bubble, but that is another PSA mistake. The set was issued with an album. The album has write-ups about the subjects. In the Joe Louis section it states he has defended his title 19 times. His 19th defense was 1941. The album cover also references Louis as World Heavyweight Champion, which he wasn't in 1935.
