If your into more modern stuff , then some of the promoters are worth writing to asking for posters, Matchroom have always been good for that, got about 10 off them in the past.

I've been to that shop in Soho a few times, They do have quite alot of boxing stuff, and also there seemed to be quite a few people interested in their vintage 'Glamour' mags.

must be plenty of people that still like the 70's growlers look.

I've not asked for posters for a while, but its always worth giving them a ring first to see if they will send stuff to you.
Alot will send handbills, if you send a s/a envelope.
Going back a few years, Matchroom sent through a tube with about 8 posters in it to me.

It looks that way from the site but i'm guessing that some of the stuff won't be.....would like to see the kind of stuff they have there though.

yeah i might check it out on saturday. the mags look genuine but you can get old boxing mags for less than 20 quid elsewhere, seems overpriced to me.
