Description

Enormous signature of the first African-American world heavyweight champ

Large, boldly penned ink signature and inscription, “Jack Johnson Former Heavy Weight Champion of The World To Harrold Thomas good luck and best wishes Harrold,” on an off-white 9 x 5.75 sheet. Also includes a scarce 1931 softcover booklet entitled Jack Johnson, The Man, inscribed by Johnson on a page bearing his facsimile signature, “To Harrold Thomas.” In fine condition. Undoubtedly the largest and boldest Johnson signature we have ever offered, and a uniquely appealing example of the Galveston Giant. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
