1910 E76 American Caramel Blue Back, John Sullivan 🥊
These 1910 E76 Caramel Blue Backs are a tough find. Only 14 of these have been graded by PSA.
John L. Sullivan, known as the “Boston Strong Boy,” was the last bare-knuckle heavyweight champion and the first gloved heavyweight champion under the Marquess of Queensberry rules. He bridged boxing’s brutal early era with its modern, regulated form, bringing unprecedented popularity and legitimacy to the sport. His charisma and knockout power made him America’s first great sports hero.
