One of the oldest known sports today, with 2,000-year-old depictions on the walls of tombs in Egypt and stone carvings indicating that Sumerians, who lived in what is now Iraq, boxed at least 5,000 years ago, boxing got its start as an exhausting and brutal spectacle and grew into an international affair that has produced some of the world’s greatest athletes. Offered here, is this pair of boxing cards picturing Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali respectively. Featured on the front of their 1938 W.A. & A.C. Churchman Boxing Personalities and 1979 Venorlandus Ltd. Our Heroes World of Sport cards, both cards have been graded by PSA with the Louis garnering a mark of EX 5 and carrying a high level of visual appeal while the Ali example has been assessed a mark of NM-MT 8 for its effort and presents beautifully with excellent colours. Both housed in PSA holders that remain in good condition despite showcasing some scratches and scuffs that is worth making mention of, the heaviest wear is found on the Louis example. A fantastic knockout pairing, don’t miss out on these for your all-important vintage collection.
