Bond Bread + Boxing photo ID
I got these with a boxing lot I won with Lelands.
The Bond Bread cards concern me, because I think one is a fake. The one on the right was ungraded, and thin stocked (I believe real). The one on left was graded by a no-name company (and was harder to break out than a Beckett!!). It is slightly darker and slightly heavier stock (although still thin). I believe this on is fake. Were Bonds reprinted or were there variations in stock thickness, printing quality ??? Opinions very welcome !! bondlouis.jpg The second question is of this boxing photo. I have to say the boxer on left is Jack Sharkey. The boxer on the right, based on Sharkey's opponents, and pure ethnic profiling I am "assuming" to be Emilio 'King' Solomon (Panamanian). I can find no photos online of Solomon. The photo measures 7 x 9.25 inches. It seems, to an untrained person, to be on original stock. It is in good over all shape, and the faults are on the photo. Sharkey/Solomon fought twice. Once in 1925 at Brave's Field, and in 1926 at Mechanic's Hall, Boston. Opinions ?????????????? sharkeyphoto.jpg Thanks, Scott I did post this one the main net54 baseball page, and only got one responce Maybe I should have asked which T206 player has the neatest socks |

Looks like there are initials on the opponents trucks. Can you enlarge and make out what they are better?

If that says "GC" on his trunks. I think that may be George Cook.

Thanks, David.
I think I'll have to go with Cook also. Not only initials, but Cook stood 5'9" (Solomon 6'1") to Sharkey's 6'0". Obvious height defference. Cook_George.jpg |
