Future heavyweight champion James J. Braddock has boldly signed this vintage-original promissory note in blue fountain pen ink... Braddock is promising to pay, at 6% interest, the Madison Square Garden Corporation $150.00 on demand... This document is dated March 1, 1935 exactly three weeks prior to his bout with Art Lasky and a little more than three months before capturing the title from Max Baer... Pre-championship Braddock documents are exceedingly rare!!
