Out of all of the Johnson postcards out there, this has to be the most popular image. I think it really shows how many people actually despised Johnson.

This is a blank back panel. Johnson and Greb are two of my favorite boxers to read about. I'll share some of the books that I have of each, some time tomorrow. I know most don't like the 48 Leaf set , but it happens to be one of my favorites. I have to admit that the 48 Leaf of Johnson is probably one of his worst cards though.

Adam,
that Louis Schmeling ticket is really cool. How long ago did you acquire it? How big are those Kid Chocolate Cuban cards? Last edited by wicker56; 01-24-2022 at 06:50 AM. |

I'm interested to hear what others think of the lines on this postcard. My guess is that the card was once mounted in a frame or something. You really don't see too many Louis postcards for sale, even on Ebay.

When I purchased this postcard I was pretty sure it had been trimmed. The Apeda signature is partially missing from the bottom right corner. I was pleasantly surprised when I compared it to several other AZO postcards, it was the exact same size.

I traded for that one at least ten years ago at a National. I don't recall which one. The Kid 'cards' are matchbox panels. They are about the size of a Goudey card.

Adam,
The other night when you posted the veteran boxers of Chicago photo, I couldn’t recall where I had seen it before. So, today I searched online until I found it. The South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame website was the place. The photo is also a great reminder of just how small Johnny Coulon, really was. Quote:
