1960 Hemmets Journal Hand Cut Cassius Clay #23

The 1960 Hemmets Journal #23 Cassius Clay hand-cut card features the future heavyweight icon following his light heavyweight gold medal performance at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Graded PSA 9 Mint, this example is one of 14 copies recorded at this grade level in the PSA population report. Because these cards were printed on thin paper magazine stock and required manual cutting from four-card panels, high-grade preservation is extraordinarily rare. This is an investment-grade card.
Issued in Sweden, the 1960 Hemmets Journal set represents Cassius Clay's earliest recognized card appearance. The back of the card features original Swedish text outlining his 128 amateur bouts, seven losses, and his championship victory in Rome at age 18. As a debut-era release capturing Muhammad Ali at the start of his professional athletic life, the card remains a landmark issue in vintage sports collectibles.Show more
