Not really a boxing collector. But was intrigued by this 1947 Sugar Ray Robinson photo. A smiling Sugar Ray on the front contrasts the dated stamp on the back: the day he fought (and killed) Jimmy Doyle in his first defense of his title.

Photo by Dork?

Looks like a press photo. The stamped date might be the publication date for a newspaper.

Picked this up at the beginning of the month....at an estate sale from a former MLB player....probably headed to auction in the future....only have seen 2 others signed on a ball.

Don't know what it is exactly but it was expensive:



I suspect it is from a set that I've not been able to catalog but that has a Fitzsimmons that I've known of for years.

More info on McGovern:

The card arrived today. It is machine-cut, measuring exactly 1.5" across and 2.25" tall. Blank back and thick cardboard. Similar to a Mayo in thickness. I thought it was a half-tone print but under magnification it is photo-engraved, which indicates it was created some time around the turn of the 20th century. Makes sense since McGovern's career ended in 1908.

--Vintage
--Rare
--HOFer depicted

Meet Eddie Booker:



A recent HOF inductee, he has no cards, promos or other memorabilia to speak of, so I had to go after this photo for my HOFer set.

Oh, and a 1948 Leaf SRR white back in nm-mt is never a wrong buy. Now you need to get the red glove variation to match it!

I wasn't really doing raw wrestling cards but I've seen so few of these Shawn Michaels 1989 Market Square rookies that I figured I'd better jump on it. I figure I could either submit it myself or hang onto it until a graded one surfaces. With only six graded by PSA, though, I may be waiting a while if I don't slab this one

Just picked up this sweet red backed E79 for a steal. Almost got the Attell but missed out on that one.
