I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with all 38 pages, light toning at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally in very nice condition.

Background: The historical significance of the May 8, 1931, match between Jim Londos and Renato Gardini at the New York Coliseum lies in its encapsulation of the 1930s "wrestling boom," driven by ethnic appeal, high-stakes promotional wars, and the athletic transition of the sport. At this time, professional wrestling was pivoting away from agonizingly long, legitimate contests toward faster, more theatrical exhibitions designed to pack arenas during the Great Depression. Promoters like Jack Curley capitalised heavily on New York City's diverse immigrant melting pot; by pitting the beloved Greek icon Londos against the formidable Italian Olympian Gardini, the event became a massive cultural draw that transcended sport, fueling intense community pride and rivalry. Furthermore, because Londos was defending the NYSAC version of the World Heavyweight Championship, high-profile defenses at venues like the Bronx Coliseum solidified New York as the undisputed epicenter of wrestling governance and financial power, setting the foundational blueprint for how the sport would be promoted in major metropolitan markets for decades to follow.
