Re: Speaking of books............
i have about 7 years of "boxing news" almost consecutive from around 1999 to 2006 - they are just sitting in the cupboard. i'd part company with them for a small amount just to have some more room in that cupboard!

Re: Speaking of books............
I had 20 years of BN from the 70's to 90's I tried to sell them on ebay but no offers, we are talking around 12 years ago.misterpunch wrote:is that better than a job-lot sale? hhmmm..i think i should do that
Then I saw a BN in a frame the one with Bruno and Tyson on the cover it was for sale for 20 quid. I was kicking my slef as I thought a pub would buy some of these in frames. It came to pass I sold my autographed prints to a pub through ebay made a few quid on the Tommy Hearns one

Re: Speaking of books............
Depending on the quality you want you can pick up a cheap frame from Wilkinsons for around 3 quid sell them for a tenner make em a bit more professional by getting a good one framed, sure not every one is going to sell but the special ones from years gone by such as Bruno v Tyson you could sell that for around 15, 20 quid?? especially if you advertised it as a birthday souvenir.misterpunch wrote:cost me a bit with the frames, i suppose. still, its a grreat idea.

Re: Speaking of books............
keep it all your self, just look for the ones with interest or ones where the key boxer on the cover has sadly passed away, key dates etc. pop one on ebay and test the water, or even better go to a boxing forum and ask who wants one for a tenner framed with their date of birth. Also do what I did with some of my photos I took, send them to a trainer or manager of the fighter on the front, make sure you pay postage there and back and ask ofr it to be signed, bingo another extra few quid too!!!!!misterpunch wrote:thanks mate! wilkinsons just a few minutes away. i'll look out the obvious ones and have a pop. what's your percentage of the massive earnings i'm clearly going to make?

That is the beauty of the internet / ebay - there is a bum for every seat. There will will be someone somewhere who fits that profile !mimmy123 wrote:So what you need now is a boxing fan of Ward who had a son born on the 6th June, ask around on here great Christmas prezzie for daddy!!!!misterpunch wrote:you're full of entrepreneurial genius. the one sitting in front of me at the moment is....june 6th 2003 great pic of mickey ward stand ing back to back with gatti, fists up and looking tuff into the camera. advertising the third of their amazing clashes. its a corker.
