Q on OJ Rookie(s?) and casual WTB information

[Exhibitman]

Amen, Brother Jeff. My boxing HOF collection is career-contemporary issues only, unless there is simply nothing out there for a fighter, but I am always looking.

I know you are! The thrill is in the hunt and sometimes an undiscovered period item for a player shows up out of nowhere if you keep grinding. Nothing or more rewarding!

That or finding a known but really tough one. Or when someone does some really good research and you find out that you have a true RC sitting there already.

I know you will appreciate this card, Adam, as you have one.

Found this last year at the Natty sitting on a crowded table. Dealer wanted $25 for it and couldn't get the cash out of my pocket fast enough.

What year would you estimate that is from?

1963ish? Or does the photo predate the scoring quote a bit? He's got a pretty nice jaw line so he looks relatively young.

It's from a rare promotional set produced by Lee Jeans in the early 1960s. A few collectors have dug in pretty deep on this set and discovered cards that appear to be from 1961, 1962, and I think 1963 based on bio information that appears on the backs.

These are extremely hard to find and no complete checklist is known.
