I have this Joe Louis 8 x 10 available. On the back is a stamp that reads, "Fight Headquarters, Braddock vs. Louis, Morrison Hotel, Chicago, Ill. There is also a purple date stamp that my scanner did not pick up very well. It is easily read in person as "Filed Jun 24 1937". That would be two days after the Braddock fight which was held at Comisky Park.

When I received the photo it was in a page protector with a sticker that says, "Hyee_Auctions, Lot - 895". It can be seen on the back scan below. Not sure if this was involved in a Henry Yee Auction or not.

There is a 1/2 inch tear on bottom right corner.

I am not a photo collector. So, I am not sure what I have. Let me know if you are interested.
