1947-66 Exhibits Jersey Joe Walcott Front Facing Variation 🥊 Scarce
There are three acknowledged variations of this popular boxing card, one with Joe facing slightly to his right, one with his nickname "Slug", and this one (front facing).
I've looked for this variation for years and this is the only one I've ever seen for sale.
Jersey Joe Walcott was a crafty heavyweight known for his slick footwork, elusive defense, and deceptive punching angles, earning him the nickname “The Camden Buzzsaw.” After years of setbacks, he captured the world heavyweight title in 1951 at age 37, becoming the oldest man at the time to win the crown. Walcott’s remarkable career is remembered for his perseverance, skill, and memorable battles against legends like Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, and Ezzard Charles.
