Nice Jack Johnson's.
Picked up this Nick Daviscourt signed 8X11. Daviscourt wrestled for the World Championship versus Ed "Strangler" Lewis (1921) & Jim Browning (1934), but lost both bouts. Daviscourt was a ruffian in the ring. According to The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Heels he exclaimed in The Ring magazine, "They want action. They cry for gore. Toss a man out of the ring; stand on his chest. Boot him as he is about to rise to his feet, stick your finger in his eye or clout him on the chin and you'll see how the customers will flock to see you the next time out." He fought under the names Nick Dewiscourt, Nick Daviscourt, Dick Daviscourt, & Nick De Court, but he was born Nicholas de Wiscourt in Ellensburg 1889. His many pseudonyms were out of necessity since he had been banned in many states for using "illegal tactics" including a closed fist/forearm blow to the chin known as the "Chawhammer". ....  Goes well with 1909 Ellensburg High School Baseball team photo (Daviscourt top row far right). Thanks Johnny.....

Can't wait any longer
I was going to wait for somebody else to post before I put this up, but I got the scanner up and running and can't wait any longer. Got this from a member here at net54. The deal was sealed as we were both enduring the first onslaught of the polar vortex.
Definitely the pinnacle of my modest collection.

I dont collect much boxing but Joe Louis and his fight against Schmelling is something that has always had meaning to me. My Dad's favorite fighter. When I was a kid my parents would go to library and you could take out silent films like Charlie Chaplin etc. And he would bring home Louis fights to watch. So when I saw these on Ebay for a very reasonable price I picked them up. 2 Louis vs Schmelling and one Louis vs Sharkey. I thought the ringside messenger ticket was very cool. All have back damage from scrapbook but I ain't looking at the backs..
