Ezzard Charles autographed GPC with a tipped on neatly cut magazine picture of Charles in a full body boxing pose. Pound for pound one of the greatest fighters of all-time, Charles was the World Heavyweight Champion from 1949 to 1951 and made eight successful title defenses in less than a two year period.
Postmarked 1954 just a few months before his first bout with Rocky Marciano. Taking place at Yankee Stadium, Charles would lose on points but was the only fighter ever to last the full 15-round distance against Marciano.
Vintage signed “Sincerely Ezzard Charles,” in blue ballpoint pen. Authenticated with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) sticker, which number coincides to a record on their website. Very good condition.
