    Description

    I've been collecting Joe Louis material for decades and I have seen this twice. It is a small (notecard sized) cover from a Joe Louis notepad.  The item has a tiny copyright from Brown & Bigelow (B&B) below the image.
    OK, I've decided to make everything clear to everyone right up front by answering the main questions I have gotten on other listings before you ask them again:
    --
    No, I am not interested in any offers
    . Please do not PM me asking for my "best price": the answer is "no".  A thousand times, no.  I am not interested. If you like the card and think the price is fair then buy it; if you don't like it or think the price is unfair, don't PM me, just move along to a different card.
    --
    I am well aware of what the market is for most anything I sell;
    trying to "educate" me on pricing is not a negotiation tool, it is just being a tool
    . Don't be a tool.
    --I don't care if you think the card is overgraded, undergraded, or graded just right, Goldilocks.  Opinions are like...you know the rest.
    --The photos are part of the description.
    Learn them.  Know them.  Live them

    If you see a photo of a card not named in the listing, don't have a thrombo, it is just because I didn't feel like making separate scans.  The card listed in the title is the one you will get.
    --No, I am not going to tell you my opinion of the card. If you are grown up enough to buy an expensive card then put on the big boy pants and make your own decision.  If that does not appeal to you, just move along to the next card.
    --No, I do not know what someone else might grade it. If you want a graded card from a specific company, then BUY ONE OF THOSE.
    --
    No, I will not ship internationally except through the eBay Global Shipping Program.  Look, I know that there are many great, honest, trustworthy people outside the USA who would never dream of lying about not receiving an item.  But there are some lying, thieving pigs too, so the good folks get lumped in with the scoundrels.  Think of it this way: when they bust a house of ill repute they arrest the bartender too.
    --When you do contact me a little basic courtesy is always appreciated and politely reciprocated; nasty messages are ignored and then mercilessly mocked on hobby chat boards.  I am a big mocker (those of you who speak Yiddish will appreciate that one).
    --No, I will not engage in customs fraud.  I mark an item on the export paperwork as worth precisely what I sold it for.
    So, if you come from a place with a high VAT or other customs duty and you still want the item, remember to factor your taxes into your decision.
    --No Partial Refunds!
    --No, I don't do sales tax fraud so don't even ask.  Taxes are the price we pay for civilization, so just pay your taxes and quitcherbitchen.
    --I combine shipping for purchases with an automatic discount rule.  Good for you, sucks for me...
    --If I don't receive payment within a week of the close of an auction I have set my account to open a non-paying bidder case automatically.  Just man up and pay for what you purchased,
    player

    So, now that we're clear on that...
