Rocky Marciano featured in a new line of memorabilia
07/31/03

Rocky Marciano exemplifies determination and strong will. At 190 lbs., his relatively small build was seen as an impossible obstacle by many. However in 1952 he proved them all wrong when he clenched the heavyweight title by knocking out Jersey Joe Walcott. He defended this title six times and held on to it for four years. He became the only boxer to ever retire undefeated when he finished his career.

It was for these and many other reasons that Rocky Marciano came to mind when established high-end memorabilia provider ProTour Memorabilia wanted to launch an exciting new division of products. After successfully securing their position as the exclusive licensee for PGA Tour framed memorabilia, ProTour has diversified into a wide range of framed celebrity display pieces.

ProTour has jumpstarted their new line by harnessing the demand for memorabilia dedicated to many of the worlds greatest legends. In addition to the championship boxer Rocky Marciano, these personalities include other entertainment favorites such as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. Also featured are musicians Buddy Holly and Ella Fitzgerald, sports immortals Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Arthur Ashe, and historical figures General George S. Patton, Jr. and Amelia Earhart.

Each framed piece is double matted and may include elements such as a candid photograph, biography, brass nameplate and an engraved or facsimile signature reproduction. As an added service to their customers, ProTour will also engrave the memorabilia free of charge. These items will be available worldwide, with retail prices starting at $49.99 USD.
