A rare combination of signatures graces this press card, autographed by Heavyweight Champ Joe Louis and his trainer Jack Blackburn, himself a first-rate boxer in the early 20th century. Measuring 2.25x3.75", the News Service International badge has some corner and edge wear with a light crease and minor discoloration. Blackburn started training the "Brown Bomber" in 1934, culminating with the latter's title victory over Jim Braddock at Chicago's Comiskey Park on June 22, 1937. Signatures rate 8/10, includes LOA.
