For Sale: 1923 Burstein Isaacs - Famous Prize Fighters (All Capitals) - Near Complete (45/50) PSA-Graded Set - #2 All Time Finest on the PSA Set Registry. This set is incredibly rare. I know of only one complete set of these - and I own it (#1 on the PSA Set Registry). These cards are hard enough to find raw, but to find an entire graded near set in mid grade condition is definitely a difficult task. The set is chock-full of legendary boxers such as, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries & Georges Carpentier. The five fighters that this set is missing are: #1 Jeff Smith, #5 Young Josephs, #23 Tommy Burns, #43 Matt Wells & #48 Jack Britton. Please let me know if you have any questions - the entire set breakdown is listed below for your reference, along with additional scans.

Jeff, I am not sure what your experience is, but my experience in collecting the B.I. sets is that the ALL CAPS version is much harder to find than the MiXeD tYpE version. I see mixed type for sale all the time, but I hardly see the ALL CAPS for sale in this large a lot. Kudos for putting this near set together, and thanks for making it available. If you aren't careful, I might catch you on the registry if I win this auction and combine them with the couple that I already have. :)

I honestly haven't seen many large lots of either types available very often, but the All CAPS version seem to be much harder to find.
