Muhammad Ali 1960 Hemmet Journal BGS 8
About the Asset
This is Ali’s first “card-like” card. Actually one of four images on a glossy page, these cards were cut out by hand.
Hemmets Journal was a Swedish publication translating to “Home Journal”, and this set was meant to commemorate the 1960 Olympic games.
The back of the card is printed in Swedish and translates to “the elegant 18-year-old Kentucky Negro, who won light heavyweight in Rome.” That may be a factor for some when deciding to invest.
