1950s Rhumboogie Cafe Joe Louis autographed boxing card PSADNA Authentic

Description

I am pleased to offer one of the rarest Joe Louis cards ever made, signed by Louis and authenticated by PSA.  This card was created for Louis’s short run at the Rhumboogie Cafe in Chicago.   My estimate is that it was created after Louis retired, when he was trying to make a living on his name.  The card itself is one of two known examples.
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:
—
I am not interested in any offers unless I post a Best Offer feature in the listing
. Please do not PM me asking for my “best price” or asking me to end the auction early: the answer is “no”.  A thousand times, no.  I am not interested. If you like the card and think the price is fair then bid on it; if you don’t like it or think the price is unfair, don’t PM me, just move along to a different card.
–The Best Offer function is not meant to discount the opening bid.  It is meant to allow someone who really wants the item to offer me substantially more than the opening bid in order to get the item immediately and avoid an auction fight for it.  I have an auto-reject set on the Best Offer that is substantially higher than the opening bid and that will automatically decline all offers below a certain price.

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
.
–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 from the listing.  If that does not appeal to you, just move along to the next card.
–No, I do not know what PSA, SGC, BVG, CSG or any other TPG might grade it. If you want a graded card, then BUY ONE OF THOSE.

I will not ship internationally except through the eBay Global Shipping Program. I understand that it costs more than a direct ship but…  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, and they lie about non-delivery and cheat hardworking sellers, so the good folks get lumped in with the scoundrels in a policy that protects me against all-too-common fraud.  Sorry.
–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 Partial Refunds!  If your item is non-conforming please contact me to arrange to send it back.
–I don’t do sales tax fraud or customs fraud so don’t even ask.  Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.  Just pay your taxes.
–I combine shipping for purchases with an automatic discount rule.  Good for you, sucks for me…
–If I don’t receive payment within four days of the close of an auction, I will cancel the sale and block you from further bidding in my auctions.  Just man up and pay for what you purchased,
player

So, now that we’re clear on that…
