That helps date Leon's item: Sharkey held the title from June 21, 1932 – June 29, 1933. He beat Schmeling and lost to Carnera. The PC is postmarked June 16, 1932, so the large premium predates the fight. Leon's item has to have been created after the Schmeling fight.
Here's a later Taub sign with baseball content:
Since it has Joe D in it twice and is titled World Series Heroes, it must date to October 1936 or later.
