20.0. "Boxing Memorabilia" by AKOV77::GARAHAN () Mon Nov 02 1987 15:16

    This appeared in last week's Boston Globe (Ask the Globe section):
    
    Question: Is there any one who deals in Boxing Memorabilia?
    
    Here is the answer for anyone who is interested:
    
    Dennis Brearley maintains a collection of boxing memorabilia beneath
    the north canopy of Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace.  If you would
    like to learn more before making the trip to the Hub, call him at
    (617) 523-0270 or 944-7580.  Hall's nostalgia, which deals mainly
    in baseball memorabilia, occaisionally has some boxing material.
     The shop is at 21 Mystic St. in Arlington.  There are also boxing
    pictures in collections in the Print Department of the Boston Public
    Library in Copley Square.  Another possibility is the Library at
    the Globe.  Prints of some of the boxing photos that have appeared
    in the paper are available for a fee, but you must know the date
    and page on which the photo appeared.  Writ to: Library, The Boston
    Globe, Boston, MA 02107 for complete details.
    
    
    

    Thanks Tim ... that was interesting.  Too bad there wasn't a name
    and address accompaning the question.  I collect boxing cards from
    the 40's and 50's era.  My knowledge of boxing cards far exceeds
    that of my knowledge of baseball cards.  I currently subscribe to
    two newsletters for boxing memorabilia collectors, and I know many,
    many collectors who actively buy/sell memorabilia.  Also, I am
    currently preparing to sell two complete boxing card sets from the
    1950's.  Believe it or not, there are alot of boxing memorabilia
    collectors out there.

          Question?
    
    
            A friend of mine has got a book called "The Roar of the Crowd"
    by James J. Corbett. It has an original Autograph by him.
    
          Anyone know how much this is worth.
    
    
    Thanks Chappy
