That is a pretty decent collection.writehooks wrote: ↑04 Jul 2020, 00:28 I've been friends with George Chuvalo for 35 years, and when we were co-writing his autobiography in 2011-12 ("Chuvalo: A fighter's life") he graciously gifted me a dozen of his fight contracts, including vs. Quarry, Frazier, Bonavena and Mathis. I also have on-site posters for 30 of George's 93 fights (including six of his nine main events at Madison Square Garden) and more than three dozen programs from his bouts. Besides Chuvalo memorabilia, I have an extensive collection of early Ali items, including a stubless ticket, program and press pass for his first bout with Liston and onsite programs for his first two fights with Frazier. My "oldtimers" collection focuses on Luther McCarty and the "White Hope" era (1910-1915) and includes several cabinet photos of McCarty, Tommy Burns, Gunboat Smith, etc.
