1907 Joe Gans vs. Kid Herman Boxing Full Ticket
<B>1907 Joe Gans vs. Kid Herman Full Ticket.</B></I> Joe Gans, known as the "Old Master", fought Kid Herman on January 1, 1907 in Tonopah, Nevada. Gans scored a knockout over Herman in the eighth round of that bout to retain the Lightweight Championship of the World. Many consider Gans to be one of the greatest lightweight fighters in history. Unfortunately, his career was prematurely terminated when he contracted tuberculosis and died in August of 1910. Presented here is a full official ticket from this bout. This full ticket is 2.5x6.75" and lists the section, row and seat. There is some light soiling and small stains on the front of the ticket, separation at the perforation (tape repaired on the back), as well as some surface paper loss on the back. These defects do not distract and the ticket displays very well. Offered here is an extremely rare ticket for this early black champion. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
