1964 cassius clay simon chocolates

What are everyones thoughts on this card? I didn't even know about until the past month or so. You can't really argue that it's Ali's first card that isn't handcut. I just don't like the size of the card and sticking with the lampo for his rookie. I really wish smr would do an article on the options for Ali and pele rookies.
This one just sold for 120 bucks. I had no idea what these have sold for and didn't even bid but kinda wish I did after seeing what sold for incase I change my mind about the lampo

    I love the size, actually - it reminds me of the classic T218 Hassan/Mecca cards. it could have used a better pic of ali though. i've been looking to pick up a decent copy, haven't seen one yet.

    I like it. Is the Lampo from 65?

    For the record, there's another Clay card (issued in packs, from a set) from 1964. image

    Yeah the lampo is from 65. What is the pack issued card from 64 ? Love learning about cards I never knew about

    Man, that picture is brutal! Someone was not a fan of his.

    Just the opposite. It could have been loved.

    Is the 64 card something recognized by psa? Love to hear any info on it or see a scan

    PSA hasn't graded one yet. I'll post about it when I get my hands on an album and can definitively prove it's 1964. The handful of cards I've seen from the set were advertised by the sellers as 1962 but I don't believe the set is 62.
