It's funny how these pieces make their way around the hobby. A great card, now with pedigree to boot!

Boston Strong Boy
Slowly working on the Boxers/Wrestlers of the N28 set. I got Sullivan in the spring and finally got around to grading him at the end of August. Definitely a good looking card, I just need to clean the fingerprints off the slab (or the scanner maybe).

Picked this up at the Chantilly, VA show a few weeks ago. It's an advertising piece for Royal Tailors and features Frank Gotch who was the first American to be the professional wrestling champion of the world in 1908. This was back when pro wrestling was a legitimate sport and key matchups used to fill up baseball stadiums with fans.

Quote:
I also just picked up this 'Ringside' RPPC that shows Gotch. Story on the Gotch/Roller Seattle fight that Gaffney officiated: Gotch put Roller in a 'bone-breaking hold...a perfectly fair hold, but it is devilish in its cruelty....those at the ringside could hear Ihe bones of the foot and ankle crush and snap. Eddie Gaffney, the referee on hands and knees near the wrestlers, could not stand it. "Let up a little, Gotch, you will break his leg." The champion eased the pressure, and with a tremendous kick with his free foot Roller got free, but he was beaten right there. That awful torture to which he was subjected took the sap out of him, and he jumped 'around the ring like a lame cock who had been gaffed'.

Very nice Mayo!
I picked this up at the National in a trade. Only the 2nd one I'd ever seen. There is no governmental entity called the "Betting Commissioners of New York"; it was really an illegal policy game based on the fight that happened to use this slip as the ticket. Ironically, there was one in the recent Heritage auction too.

Any idea where that vaudeville piece is from?
I already posted this in a different thread but WTF, I am so pleased to get it that I might as well do it here too! I have no idea what this is, other than it is old and came from a European seller:

I'm guessing the Gibbons piece is from his 1924 trip to England, to fight Jack Bloomfield.
|
#67
|
||||
|
||||
It is from a stint at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis. It opened in 1916 and is still in use today.
Gibbons was from St. Paul, so doing an event at a venue across the river wouldn't have been unusual. While he didn't make much from the 1923 title fight with Jack Dempsey, he did pretty well with the vaudeville shows.

I stand corrected then. The Pathe News reference on top of all the European sounding supporting acts led me to believe it was UK based. |

Here is a little more info on Gibbons' show at the Pantages:

I guess the poster isn't necessarily from the Minneapolis location. It looks like Pantages had a pretty big circuit around this time. This is the schedule for a 1921 Pantages tour

Been working on a set of PCs from D & K Enterprises in SF, ca. 1905, relating to the Britt-Nelson bouts.
That last one made it to Belgium in 1905 and somehow survived and returned to the USA, where I own it 110 years later. Where will it be 110 years from now, I wonder? I am reasonably certain I will be sprinkled all around the Kona coast by then... Also had a fun snag with this Sharkey RPPC; signed on back:

Adam,
Amazing esoteric stuff - where do you get these and how are you able to build a collection around such a specific event? Very cool. Makes my T9 seem............well.................bland. Hey, when's the next soapbox entry? I always enjoy them. |
#74
|
||||
|
||||
That is a beauty! The T9 Johnson is one of my all-time favorite boxing cards.

I think we have the same taste but mine is not near as nice, but I do love the patina.

Those are nice, Shawn. I've got a group of those from both the Indiana Sport and Indiana Sport-Avion sets, including Joe Louis. They're from 1936, if you're curious.

I bought the same Tyson card for that exact reason...then left it on my desk when I went to the National. Not one of my better moves.
