Description

At Antique Armory history and legacy converge in our curated collection of boxing memorabilia. One of our prized possessions, this exceptional SGC graded 1947-1966 Cassius Clay Exhibits Card. The green-tinted design of the card enhances its desirability, adding to its collectible appeal. The “Green Tint” 1947-1966 exhibits card was the first production before the “greyer” black & white edition, which was later released into production.  Measuring 3.25″ x 5.25″, this Muhammad Ali Card captures the early essence of a legend, showcasing Cassius Clay—later known as Muhammad Ali—in an assertive, aggressive stance. Professionally graded 3 VG (Very Good) by SGC, this piece is a testament to its authenticity and well-preserved condition, making it a standout to any collection.

Cassius Clay, born in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky, began his remarkable journey at the age of 14, eventually rising to claim the world heavyweight boxing championship in 1964. His transformation into Muhammad Ali marked a pivotal moment, not just in sports but in cultural history. Ali’s legacy extends far beyond the ring. Known for his flamboyant personality and unyielding spirit, he retired from boxing in 1981 after an historic career. Post-retirement, he dedicated himself to philanthropy, leaving an historic mark on society. His contributions were recognized with the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005, honoring his impact both as an athlete and a humanitarian.

Also, accompanying this (already graded) SGC 1947-1966 Cassius Clay Exhibits Card, is a Certificate of Authenticity from John Reznikoff, a renowned authenticator trusted by major third-party services such as PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications). This certification ensures the card’s legitimacy, providing peace of mind to collectors and enthusiasts.
