The first African-American World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Johnson, wrote extensively in this 1905 autograph book, even adding the title to his name. The book and pages are in EX condition, while the writing and signature grade 7.5/10 in black fountain ink. Many of the autographs included are from European actors and actresses. Johnson - known as the "Galveston Giant" - gained the heavyweight title in 1908, the year he added his signature to this book, which contains an LOA from PSA/DNA.
