One of the most rare of all Exhibit boxing cards is the card picturing Tommy Yarosz, but identified as Sammy Angott.  Angott was a Pennsylvania lightweight born Salvatore Engotti, who fought primarily in the 1940s and won the NBA World Lightweight title in 1941.  However, the fighter pictured on the card is Tommy Yarosz (brother of middleweight champ Teddy Yarosz), a lesser-known fighter who missed a few years due to military service.  The error was discovered and corrected early, making the Angott error one of the most rare of all Exhibit boxing cards.  This example grades GOOD, with visible corner wear and edge chipping, along with some staining along the right edge.  Also included is a POOR condition example of the corrected version, with staining on the front and scrapbook residue on the reverse.  Two cards total.
