Here is a very rare early autographed postcard photo of champion boxer Benny Leonard, from the late 1920s-1931, in top hat, signed in white ink. Direct from an estate collection from that time period. Benny Leonard (born Benjamin Leiner; April 7, 1896 – April 18, 1947) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1911 to 1932. He held the world lightweight title from 1917 to 1925, making him the longest-reigning champion in the division's history. He is widely regarded not only as one of the greatest lightweights ever, but also as one of the sport's all-time greats. First name faded. Very rare.
