My best, or favorite, bit of boxing memorabilia is a collection of documents from boxing cards in the state of Montana, dating 1927-1943. Over 200 documents that include 130 state boxing inspector reports, 60 medical examiner reports, 20 news clippings, 8 boxing contracts and others.

I been collecting boxing memorabilia from the day that my then-14-year-old self went to my neighborhood news shop & purchased the September 1976 issues of THE RING & BOXING ILLUSTRATED. Both of which featured cover stories previewing the highly anticipated Ali-Norton III that took place later that month.
I'd only been a boxing fan for about six months at that point, with my favorite fighter being Ken Norton.
So, many years later down the line, I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to have that very same issue of THE RING ( still in excellent shape ) signed by Norton during an IBHOF Induction Weekend in Canastota.
So that, to me, is exhibit #1 a). With #1 b) being my Hagler vs Leonard onsite poster signed by both fighters.

I have a lot of other really treasured pieces as well, but I'll keep it to just those for now.

Apparently that isn't worth as much as Larry Holmes' jockstrap! :TU:
