Anyone know what value there may be in such things? Several searches on eBay didn't turn up any results, though I may not have been using the correct terms. Also, are these ever faked? This coming from someone who has never bet on a fight, in person or otherwise, and what little I know about boxing is second-hand knowledge from internet research. So if the question sounds ignorant, it's probably because I am in this area :p

Is that Joe Louis vs. Ezzard Charles?

Looks real, but not much value. Maybe 10-20 bucks.

Whoops, yes, I should have said that at the outset. You're correct in that it's Louis vs. Charles, Sept 27, 1950. All slips intact. Is there another term more commonly used for these? I was pretty surprised when my eBay searches turned up nothing similar.
