A tantalizing trio of signatures have been scrawled across the pages of the two books presented here in the form of Francis “King” Clancy and Harold Ballard in the book “The Wild Canadians” and former heavyweight boxer, Jack Dempsey, in “Dempsey: By the Man Himself”. “The Wild Canadians” by Chip Young has been signed by the Maple Leafs pairing on the inside title page. Both signatures are made out to “Brian” with the signature from Clancy signed with a fine black ink marker and the signature of Ballard in a slightly bolder style. Both signatures present well without issue and the book remains in excellent condition with only light wear present. A signature from Young is also found on the page done in blue pen and is dated 1977. A JSA letter of authenticity will accompany. The Dempsey book, his autobiography from 1960, is void of the dust jacket and is signed by “The Manassa Mauler” in fine but bold blue ink on the inside dedication page with the signature made out to “Al”. Remaining in excellent condition as well, the book features light toning to the pages and light wear and discolouration to the front cover and spine. The spine has loosened up over time. A JSA sticker numbered “Q52768” is affixed to the page with the signature but is without the matching certificate. Addendum; The JSA Basic Cert is included with the signed Dempsey book.
