Magazine/book collection for good home!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 11 Oct 2014, 16:53
Long story short - I have a load of boxing magazines and books (around ten boxes worth) that I'm happy to give away to any avid collector out there who would like them.
I'm not a collector myself, I ended up with them after a relative of an ex, who previously wrote for the Irish Times on boxing, died, no one else in the family was able to take them and they knew I boxed. I sorted them out and stuck them in boxes but otherwise have done nothing with them since. I'm moving house at the start of next month and to be honest I'd rather someone who appreciated them had them than they sat in an attic unused for the next twenty years.
The bulk of the magazines are Boxing Monthly's (there are only 22 issues missing from 1989-2013) plus there are a variety of Boxing News, The Ring, Boxing Illustrated, Boxing Outlook, World Boxing, KO Magazine, Boxing **, Boxing Weekly and Boxing Digest.
There are also programmes for Sibson v Minter, Hatton v MaGee, Holyfield v Lewis I, Brodie v Chi, Harrison v Chacon, Tyson v Savarese, Jones v Tarver I, etc plus BBBofC yearbooks from 1986-2005 (plus other yearbooks) and a bound edition of all the 1960 Ring issues. There are also several boxes of various boxing books up to around 2003/4 - mainly from the 80's and 90's.
If anyone is interested they would have to be taken this month and picked up from Central Scotland. I'm not going to give them away to some chancer who just wants to sell the decent stuff and bin the rest, I'd much rather they went to someone who collected this stuff and enjoyed them.
Any money given I'll pass on to my ex's family - I'm not doing this to make anything, I just don't want them all to go to waste.
Any interest just PM me and I'll help however I can.
