Young McGovern: 1921 Romeo Y Julieta Black Border, Slabbed a PSA 2.5!

Here's a long-ago eBay pickup I sent in to PSA through my old job and never got around to posting about. I like boxing cards enough to pick one up every blue moon or so. When I saw this set online I couldn't resist and settled on one in my budget. Thankfully, Young McGovern is also a stellar name, so it worked on that level too.


The card hails from the 1921 Romeo Y Julieta Black Border set and returned to me as a PSA 2.5. It's a simple posed shot and I really like the set name on the front of the card. Black bordered cards are also usually dynamite and this issue is no different with those as a prominent feature.


Young McGovern is quite the mysterious figure as I can't find any info online about him. Nevertheless, it's a cool and unique addition to my modest Boxing Collection.

    Awesome addition to your boxing collection. Never heard of Romeo Y Julieta cards. Tobacco?

    The fighter pictured as "Young McGovern" is actually my great-uncle, and namesake, Martial Henry Voitier (~1902 - 1976). He was a native of New Orleans whose boxing record can be found at #135310. (Martial Robert Voitier, Jr.).
