My dad got this autographed postcard at Jack Dempsey's Manhattan restaurant in the 70's, when the fighter used to hang out and hobknob with the patrons. Ha ha...yes, I know this sounds like the ole "I found this in grandpa's attic" story, but it's not. My dad got a couple of these for my brothers and I back in the day. He was a huge fan.
If anyone is interested, give me a shout. I'm looking to trade for vintage baseball cards (see my general want list below).
On a side note...unsigned versions of this postcard are available on eBay, so you could pick up one of those and combine it with this autographed one to put together a pretty cool framed 'Manassas Mauler' presentation piece showing both sides of the postcard (comparable to the layout of the photos above).
If you have any questions, PLMK.
Thanks.
I am always interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, graded or ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams & Roberto Clemente cards
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1968 Milton Bradley HOF'ers
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• 1972 Topps HOF'ers, high numbers and other cards in NM shape and nicely centered to upgrade my sets
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
• T-206's
• And I'm probably open to a wide variety of other things as well
