Prior to the 1935 Max Baer Heavyweight Title fight, this nicely framed letter to "Miss Spencer" dated June 6, 1935. Also includes two framed smaller pictures and a rare program from the "Braddock Boosters Testimonial Dinner and Dance". Very personalized letter on what looks like a hotel stationary. Letter reads "Miss Spencer Appreciate your interest in my handwriting. I am getting in swell shape for my upcoming fight with Max Baer. Hope this will fill the bill. Remain James J. Braddock". This was a request of his signature from a fan. This letter was penned only seven days before he won the Heavyweight Championship in one of the biggest upsets in Heavyweight Championship history. A rare offering of a very popular "Cinderella Man". JSA LOA.
