Sorry, boxing, but I've always wanted this Dana photo. Picked it up in last night's Gaynor/Dent auction:

A classic pre-match line up. But the stark difference between the tough and ripped Kaufmann and the bald Sullivan in his bagging shorts makes me .

BTW: Sullivan was a middleweight (won 72 (KO 22) + lost 36 (KO 7) + drawn 42). Kaufman was a heavyweight (won 25 (KO 16) + lost 8 (KO 5) + drawn 1). In this fight Kaufmann outweighed Sullivan by 30 pounds and won by decission. Kaufmann was one of the "Great White Hopes," but never panned out.

Wow Dean. That Young is such a nice, nice card. Not just a nice Young or a nice T206 or a nice 40. It's a really great-looking card overall. I wish all my cards looked that good - especially all the 40's!

Great pickup.
