    I would love to recieve it as a present, but there are a million things I'd rather spend that money on.

    Where did you get a Mamby contract Flea? That's pretty cool.

    Auction (Dave's Boxing Collectibles I think; get old Ring mags off of him as well). Got it with a signed photo of Luis Manuel Rodriguez as well. Don't go for the more 'commercial' stuff like signed gloves, doesn't interest me, just stuff that isn't too common that if I pass up the opportunity it's gone.

    I have a large collection of ring and boxing illustrated from the 60's. Also several ring bound volumes and some 1938 ring mags in fair condition.

    It's so much better to be a fan of lesser known fighters, you can find some really cool stuff at a pretty good price because chances are not many people would bid on it because they aren't aware of them.

    For instance, I have a Frank Shamrock auto card I won for 1.50 :lol: Compared to all my Jose Aldo auto's :verysad

    Ring went horribly downhill years ago. Used to collect RING and KO mags when they were available. Great articles, but now it's really not worth it.
