 Lot 235. Autograph, Original 11" x 14" Portrait Painting of Heavyweight Champ Max Baer. Until sometime in the 1960s, this painting hung in a bar on Broadway Street in Denver. It has about half a dozen small chips. With some restoration, it would be a stunning, one-of-a-kind display item. Baer’s autograph is on a section of heavy paper. Above his name, he wrote: “To Meyer Shapiro (the bar owner). The one and only. We all love you. So take care of yourself. Your Bar Tender at the Clip Joint, Max Baer, 3-9-59.” The section of paper has a crease and some paper loss. The autograph is unaffected and rates an 8. Baer won the heavyweight title in 1934 and lost it in 1935 to Cin-derella Man Jim Braddock. Authen- ticated by Kevin Keating.
Minimum Bid $100.
