The first-known image of Cassius Clay on something resembling a trading card published as part of a four-photo panel in a Swedish magazine. Depicting Clay as an Olympic boxing champion the future Greatest Of All Time is joined by speedwalker John Ljunggren Wilma Rudolph and Danish soccer player Harald Nielsen. The panel was intended to be put into a two-ring binder. While some collectors have chosen to cut out the Clay photo and call it a "card " and while grading companies will grade that "card " the panel was never intended to be used that way. Presented here is the four-photo panel. In G-VG condition there are some light creases and wear to the edges of the piece as well as some tears at the holes. Still a very attractive early Clay-related piece considered by some to be the rookie card of the man who would eventually become Muhammad Ali.
I have one to sell!
