What are these clippings you have and what did you want to know? He fought in the shadows of Monzon and could never get in the front seat. He was an absolute genius in the ring who humiliated his opponents instead of knocking them out. You might want to do a little research yourself as its not all that difficult.

If you have actual press clippings of the guy from those days and are trying to sell them then screw all the ebay crap and stick them in kijiji specifically in Argentina.

Hmmm I never knew that. I'm sure Argentina has its version of the same.The thing is if it were me and I had original clipping I would concentrate my attempts to sell them in Argentina first. There has to be something that is Argentina centric even if it means putting an ad in a Buenos Aires newspaper.

For example, my twin brother has a Russian Iron cross that had been handed down to him from my grandmother who was a white Russian who fled the Bolshevik revolution. Her father was a body guard for the last Czar. We are getting older and neither of us have kids. I told him he should sell it and if not in a high stakes auction then by advertising in Russia.

You have something that may not be all that rare in Argentina whereas my brothers family hand me down is extremely rare no matter where he offers it but he'd make more in Russia imo because of its ties. Your item could be rarer here then Argentina but still make more money there because of its historical significance.

I've got a fair amount of boxing collectables but its a little hard to go further in advice w/o knowing exactly what you got.

By June 9, 1961 > he was already World-Rated as the #16 Lightweight after
defeating {W Dec 12} Guillermo Cano for the Argentinian 'Mendoza Region' Lightweight
Championship.

Nicolino {Age; 20 years, 9 months} had moved his record to 16-1-6 with only {4 KO's},

Nicolino had already fought World-Class Argentinians;
* {Draw 10} ...... Jaime Gine

When you say official press photos do you mean on kodak paper or a newspaper? I took a closer look at that jpeg and it appears to be a picture of an actual picture which looks to have a small rip? Again condition is huge and it depends who the supporting characters are.

The nice thing about old school photo's is they cant be manipulated w/o a trail.

My advice to you would be to go get a couple of estimates from an honest sport memorabilia place. Now keep in mind that it would be best to narrow the field. Don't take them to Billy and Bobby's card and hobby shop. Plenty of boxing fans have never heard of this man so the neighbourhood corner shop probably has no idea either. Also for that very reason your market is a little thin. He was simply brushed aside in his day by Ali, Monzon etc etc. See but that also makes his stuff more rare and those who collect it more willing.

A priority should be finding a collector specializing in boxing stuff. That should be your starting point.
Guys like me do it for selfish reasons and dont buy to sell or have any idea on the market or the value.
Just dont get played.

Hope that helped a little. Good luck
