Recently New York Congressman Peter King and Arizona Senator John McCain have re-introduced their resolution to pardon legendary black boxer Jack Johnson for a bogus crime that happened a century ago. Also recently this Jack Johnson signed Leaf card was listed in an auction house pre-certified by a so-called major authentication company. Aside from the fact that this alleged Johnson signature shows no resemblance whatsoever to a real one, this particular Leaf card was released in 1948 while Jack Johnson died in 1946. Now that's a real crime, no?
