I'm generally a dealer, so I don't post in the Recent Pick-up threads, knowing most stuff I handle will eventually be put up for sale or auctioned, and I feel I hype my own stuff enough over there already.......plus I'm too lazy to actually scan stuff I end up keeping for myself, which isn't usually of mind-blowing quality anyways.

I do read everything posted over there when it pops up. I'll be glad to help or chime in when I can.......as long as things don't turn into a constant "Is this autograph good? Is that autograph good?" thread.

Nice pick-up BTW

Even though it's probably the least valuable of the batch, I like the Cyclone Johnny Thompson piece the most. Definitely a rarity.

Thanks Dave. I didn't realize you were a dealer, but I understand not wanting others to think you are advertising. Although, it's no big deal in the memorabilia forum - I think it's understood that many of the posters are selling everything they show us. Personally, with the exception of maybe 20 pieces, everything I own can be had at a reasonable price

I bought the postcards for the Johnson/Jeffries piece - I'm thinking of trying to remove the writing from the front.

Looks like fountain pen. Is that even possible without eating away the surface of the postcard? I'd leave it as is, personally. Boxing collectors are much more forgiving then baseball collectors for that type of stuff on postcards.

If you make an attempt, I'd be curious to see how it turned out.

Looks like we got a little action in the boxing forum. We'll see if it keeps up.

You could try to clean it but I'd just leave it alone. As a composite of the two images shown below it is unique and would not deter a boxing PC collector from wanting it. I would have chased it except that I did not want to buy and then have to turn out the other two in the lot.

As for the boxing and other non-baseball fora, I'd prefer they stay separate from memorabilia and autographs. If something has dual potential I list it in both sections.

Those are cool Adam - thanks for showing them.

I will refrain from attempting to remove the ink. I would never have thought of doing it, but there was a recent post indicating that ink signatures can be easily removed from baseball cards. I figured it might be worth trying on this one as well.
