Description

Jack Johnson

Heavyweight champion of the world, 1908–1915. One of the most colorful, controversial, and finest boxers of all time. His achievements created a storm of controversy around the sport, with some even calling for an outright ban on boxing. Johnson’s personal life was equally stormy, three marriages to white women ended in either divorce or suicide. Scarce, bold vintage pencil signature on a 4 .5 x 6 album page, “To a good person from Former Boxing Champion Jack Johnson.” Central horizontal fold, expected autograph album punch holes, and collector’s notation of October 30, 1935, otherwise condition is fine. Johnson is becoming increasingly harder to find. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
