This is my favorite, 1951 Ringside signed by my cousin Ray Miller:



I have several things signed by Ray. Here is his 1951 Ringside contract from the Topps Vault:



A letter with interesting card-related content:





This would be the most prized autograph, 1930s PC of Young Perez:



Victor "Young" Perez was a flyweight champ of Tunisian descent who lived in France. Come WWII, as a Jew he was betrayed to the Nazis and sent to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland where he was forced to fight gladiatorial contests for the amusement of the guards. If he won, he was fed. If he lost, he would be executed. He never lost. He was finally murdered during a death march near the end of the war when he shared some bread with a fellow prisoner in defiance of a guard's orders. Needless to say, his autographs don't come easy.
