1940 Jack Johnson Signed Postcard. Collectors' appreciation of this first African-American Heavyweight Champion of the World has grown considerably in the wake of Ken Burns' fine PBS documentary "Unforgivable Blackness," so we anticipate an enthusiastic response to this piece signed by the controversial pugilist six years before his death in an automobile accident. The stirring photographic image of the man that made white America search high and low for a worthy contender appears silhouetted against a stark black background, and Johnson's 6/10 vintage fountain pen extends across his muscular body from the right knee to the right fist. In the thin white margins of the card, Johnson has penned "Former Heavyweight Champion of the World, U.S.A. 1940." Rounding of the corners and a single minor corner crease well clear of the autograph are the only noteworthy condition issues related to the card itself, which presents gorgeously in the tastefully matted and framed display. Overall dimensions are 10.5x12.5". LOA from Steve Grad & Zach Rullo/ PSA DNA.

1910 Jack Johnson vs. Jim Jeffries "Dana" Postcards Lot of 118. Simply the most complete and incredible collection of Dana postcards from this most historic of Heavyweight Championship bouts ever to reach the auction block. Text and a selection of images couldn't possibly convey the magnitude and splendor of this collection that will serve as the best visual record of the Reno, Nevada event until somebody invents a time machine. The collection begins with fine portraits of the two battlers, then continues on to images of each sparring, President Teddy Roosevelt enjoying pre-fight festivities, and the legions of spectators packing themselves into the wooden arena. Several images of the announcements before the fight begins feature John L. Sullivan and Tex Rickard. Then we come to images of Johnson and Jeffries entering the ring. Various shots finds a smiling Johnson in his corner before the opening bell, and a determined Jeffries on his stool. Then the bell rings and we come to forty-five action shots detailing the bout round by round, beginning with the opening parries and ending with Jeffries on the canvas and Johnson standing above him. Images of Johnson being declared Champ and Johnson's white wife cheering for him, the only joyous spectator, close out the remarkable collection.

While these are sometimes seen in small quantities, rarely more than a dozen, we believe that the presentation at auction of such a comprehensive set is unprecedented. All show the edge and corner wear typical of postcards of this era, and they appear to have all been tacked to a wall at some point in their past. It must be noted, however, that only a small percentage actually bear tack holes--the rest have small rust stains where they were held to the wall by the flat part of the tack, rather than having been punctured by it. Not a single postcard shows wear that proves significantly detrimental to its visual power. Perhaps five duplicates are present, and two portraits of Johnson ma
