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!

frame one and stick it on ebay someone with the same birthday who like BN will buy it, trust me, I should have done that with the best ones

is that better than a job-lot sale? hhmmm..i think i should do that

ive just pulled out a bunch of them - bits of paper all over the floor now!!!!!

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.

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

cost me a bit with the frames, i suppose. still, its a grreat idea.

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.

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?

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!!!!!

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.

'Ergh' ??

It's an onomatopoeia.

This is why school is broken up into sets, so the slower ones need not be baffled by the smart kids.

No it's an utterance, a cry, but it's not onomatopoeic.

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!!!!

thanks - all the best to ya, have a great xmas

he's right its not truly onomatopoeic

i have sugar rays robinsons autobiography, is that likely to be worth anything

i'd say not - there were probably quite a few thousand of those printed up, but if its signed....thats different

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 !
