Description
1889 N386 Spaulding & Merrick #8 Jake Kilrain SGC 40 VG 3. Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC, the highest graded example recorded to date. From a series of 24 subjects including actors, actresses and prizefighters. Number 8 in the series, Jake Kilrain was a very tough and durable fighter. He is best recognized for participating in the last bare-knuckle world heavyweight championship fight in 1889 (under London rules) where Kilrain and the great John Sullivan went 76 rounds. Kilrain's coach, Mike Donovan, ended the fight by throwing in the towel, or sponge to be historically accurate, much to Kilrain's protests. This eye catching example has one horizontal crease accounting for the technical grade. Bright and clean with EX/MT or NM quality corners, there is no brand advertising on the front and displays a red Spaulding & Merrick stamp back. A fresh copy with practically no age toning.Auction Info
