Hall of Famers galore filled the cast of characters in attendance that night at the 1952 Boxing Writer's Association of America's annual event. Most left their bold blue fountain pen signatures on the surface of this cream-colored BenLee boxing glove. Twenty-two autographs in all, with James J. Braddock, Jake LaMotta, Joe Walcott, Abe Attell, Lew Jenkins, Charlie Rosenberg, Sandy Saddler, Billy Graham, Johnny Dundee, Humbert Fugazy, Ruby Goldstein, Bob Olin, Ray Miller, Gus Lesnevich, Frankie Genaro, Spike Webb, Eddie Eagan, Ray Arcel , Nat Fleischer, Comm. Abe J. Greene, and Dr. Vincent Nardiello. All are entirely legible and very attractive, grading as 7/10 or better, while the glove, which has darkened somewhat with age, is EX. All of the autographs were obtained by Arthur Susskind Jr.
