    Fairly modern still living boxers autographs don't for as much as people think they would, unless its signed on a fairly significant item or is a unique dedication. E-bay will give you an indication of what the man in the street would pay for it, dealer sites such as Jo Sports would give you an indication of its worth from a professional perspective, although they are always more expensive than you and I would sell for.

    I'm not familiar with the wrestler you mention, but the mags always seem to sell, but again not for as much as yo'd expect, I've picked up 70 year ols copies of Ring magazine for peanuts, sometimes depends who is featured on the cover/inside

    i've sold many mags on e-bay got as much as 25 dollars a copy for some.you can get at leat 10 bucks a copy for older ring mags i wouldn't sell for less.funny thing wrestling mags from the 50's,and 60's sell for much more then boxing mags from the same time

    in the past,i've bought out many boxing and wrestling collections kept what i wanted and sold the rest off.stuff you think that's worth nothing sells high sometimes.in 1 collection i found of photo of roy rogers on his horse trigger that went for 20 dollars on ebay in another was a rodeo program from madison square garden sold that for 25 bucks.
    i've got boxing magazines from the 40's 50's and 60's that may have been published only for 2 or 3 issues some are worth more then others,in the 30's jack dempsey had his own bpxing mag, called "jack dempsey sports" they are worth arounf 15 to 20 dollars each

    Would you sell it to a fellow ESB member for $12.50 to establish a good early selling reputation in the Classic Forum?
