I've gotten a bit carried away with the Max Schmeling photos, didn't mean to go on this long, he's one of my personal favorite fighters and there's just so many great photos of him. I'll try to wrap it up here soon. This is a photo of Max Schmeling and his trainer Max Machon walking outside his training hall during his preparation for his fight against Steve Dudas in Hamburg, Germany in 1938.
Here are some photos of the Max Schmeling-Steve Dudas fight, Schmeling won the fight by knockout when Dudas' team threw in the towel in round 6. The photo on the very bottom shows the towel flying in from Dudas' corner.
You know, it's fascinating, I'm a collector of boxing photos and cards, and I'm constantly on eBay searching for things, and I keep running across these cool Max Schmeling cards. This is a 1937 Globo Chewing Gum Max Schmeling card from the Champion Tous Sports series, very rare French issued card. At $799, it's far too pricey for penniless peasantry like me, but still really cool.
This is so freaking cool, I about fell out of my chair when I saw this. I ran across this press photo of Max Schmeling and I'm not sure if it's the exact photo that was used for the image of Schmeling on his 1927 York Caramel card, but it's darn close, and it's definitely from the same photo shoot as the image on the card. This photo is for sale on eBay right now and I'm going over there right now and buying it. The 1927 York Caramel Max Schmeling card is his earliest and rarest card on this planet and to have the photo that was used for the image on this card would be so cool. What a treasure.
Yeah, it's official, I now own this photo. What an absolute treasure, I would much rather have the photo that was used for the image on the 1927 York Caramel card than the card itself. Man I am pumped right now like you don't know. My God, what a day this turned out to be, I didn't see this happening today. Talk about stumbling into the holy grail. Just wow.
Max Schmeling is one of my all-time favorite fighters, he was very methodical, analytical, and he had a knack for wearing down and knocking out durable fighters, an absolutely fascinating specimen was Max Schmeling.
