Been high on my wrestling want-list for a while. It's been a pain finding one that wasn't vastly overpriced. Was very happy with the price from the opcbaseball site that advertised in the BST...

Also fits into my Baseball collection as well. I've always had a soft spot for one time ballplayers who went on to be more famous post-career..

New ebay pickups

Nice Jack Johnson's.

Picked up this Nick Daviscourt signed 8X11. Daviscourt wrestled for the World Championship versus Ed "Strangler" Lewis (1921) & Jim Browning (1934), but lost both bouts. Daviscourt was a ruffian in the ring. According to The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Heels he exclaimed in The Ring magazine, "They want action. They cry for gore. Toss a man out of the ring; stand on his chest. Boot him as he is about to rise to his feet, stick your finger in his eye or clout him on the chin and you'll see how the customers will flock to see you the next time out." He fought under the names Nick Dewiscourt, Nick Daviscourt, Dick Daviscourt, & Nick De Court, but he was born Nicholas de Wiscourt in Ellensburg 1889. His many pseudonyms were out of necessity since he had been banned in many states for using "illegal tactics" including a closed fist/forearm blow to the chin known as the "Chawhammer". ....
