Willard-Dempsey July 4th 1919 items
 

Well, I was out running around today and came accross these, ticket stub, seating stub and what looks like a program(need to take them out of the frame). Not a bad day.

Nice score. The ticket is fairly common but the program is not. Hopefully it's all there behind the frame.

got it out, it's just the front cover of it, still it makes a nice display with the two stubs.

Fritz

Would these be worth grading?

Fritz

I don't know; if you intend to use them in a display, I'd say not unless you plan to display the slabs alongside the reframed program cover. I recently picked up this PC from the fight that matches the program design concept (has a 1919 postmark on it too):

I really don't think so. I could be wrong but boxing ticket guys don't place much of a premium on a PSA Slab. As long as it's authentic, which it looks like it is.

Maybe baseball or other sports guys dabbling into boxing a bit, might be more comfortable purchasing it in a slab.

Thanks! I was thinking of doing it just for the fact of them being verified and preserved, I mainly collect military(have for over 30 years) and fakes are in abundance there as I am sure with spodts items also, only reason I bought these is I somewhat know the guy that had them and his stuff is good. I have been looking all over the net and have only found a few tickets/stubs even listed for sale, I may end up keeping the group and not sell as I originaly thought of doing, kinda neat group and I'm from Toledo and know right where this took place, unfortunatly it is now an extremely rough/dangerous place to go in that end of town. Here are a couple closeups of the two stubs.

Nice card!

Well after a little work and some TLC with the program cover, I was able to get this great little group looking a bit more presentable,looks much better on acid free paper.

Fritz

Nice Job. Wish I had the patience (and the wall space) to frame stuff up like that sometimes.

Thanks, didn't take me to long, couple hours after I got the frame, luckly my wife still had some of here scrap book stuff left so I could get the cards in the corner holders, I was impressed with myself and so was she:D.
