Lot Number: 960
Description: Scarce September 7, 1892 John L. Sullivan vs. Jim Corbett Heavyweight Championship fight reserved seat ticket. The offered reserved seating ticket is the first of its type that we have encountered and may very well have been used by St. Louis Browns player Jack Boyle himself. The front of the ticket remains fairly clean for its age with one small corner chip at the top left along with some minor surface abrasions. Reverse has a hand stamped "R.M. Frank New Orleans, LA" address which was likely the ticket vendor. Scarce reserved seat ticket variant from the most notable 19th century boxing championship fight (see Lot 961). Includes letter of provenance from the Boyle family: VG-EX
Estimated Price: ($1,000.00-$1,500.00)
