1944 Joe Louis & Sugar Ray Robinson Signed Photo
<B>1944 Joe Louis & Sugar Ray Robinson Signed Photograph.</B></I> This historic pairing of iconic ring legends comes as the result of joint military service during the Second World War. This 8x10" photo, deriving from the collection of a superior officer, pictures these World Champs in uniform during a stop on their European tour of American army bases. Each has autographed the pale region below their feet, with Robinson adding the generous inscription, "Best Wishes To Lt. Keller Whom I wish all in life I wish myself." Robinson's writing presents today with a boldness of 7/10, with Louis just a point below. Three other boxers pictured have signed as well. The photo itself confines the occasional crease or light stain to the areas surrounding the central focus, so visual appeal is basically unaffected. An historic piece offering a rare and highly desirable combination of boxing's best. <I>LOA from PSA/DNA. LOA from James Spence Authentication.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
