Damn Joe you stole that. Looks like a $3-400 piece to me. Looks great.

I mainly collect memorabilia of players and teams from my hometown but I stepped outside that zone for my most recent acquistion. I picked up this 1952 Sugar Ray Robinson vs Carl "Bobo" Olson wooden fight billboard. This was the great Sugar Ray Robinson's only title fight in the SF-Bay Area, where I live, so that was the main attraction to this piece of local sports history. The billboard measures 2 ft x 4ft.
Hopefully I can find a ticket from this fight one of these days to go along with it. |

Great pick up. I see you are from Alameda. Have you been to the antique fair? Just curious as I am from the Sacramento area and never been there. Been thinking about it. Jim |

Thanks Jim. Sad to say, I've only been to the antique fair once. If you go, bring a good pair of walking shoes from what I remember!
I'm going to try and get out there in next couple of months to check it out.

I love the broadside, Dewey! If by "antique fair", Jim means the giant swap meet out in the boatyards.....I was lucky enough to get out there once. I didn't find a damn thing for my collection but it was fun. My Bay Area buddy and fellow Giants collector occassionally finds something there. You guys are lucky to have a good, recurring meet like that one.

Psyched to add this one to the collection (second I've owned, but the 1st I've seen with "old timers day" stamped on it... Mick hit the last homer of his life during that game against former teammate and fellow hall of Famer whitey ford...
