1910-11 T9 Turkey Red – Jack Johnson Photo Card – SGC

1910-11 T9 Turkey Red – Jack Johnson (#76) Checklist Back (Offer) Photo Card (SGC Graded 20 Fair 1.5)

Offered here is a Jack Johnson #76 Turkey Red 1910-11 T9 Check Back (Offer) (SGC) Fair. Jack Johnson was a man who battled just as hard outside of the ring as he did inside the ring. Johnson became the World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Tommy Burns in Australia on December 26, 1908, becoming the first African-American to accomplish that feat. Today, collectors’ appreciation for the first African-American Heavyweight Champion has only continued to grow, considerably more so in the wake of Ken Burns’ PBS documentary “Unforgivable Blackness.” Johnson is one of the most highly collected boxers and few collectibles.
