My latest picks
 

Going to a show on Saturday. The Spinks brothers will be there. Picked these up for them to sign.

2006 Allen & Ginter
1986 Panini Supersport

Grabbed the Ali just because it's a fun card.
1979 Venorlandus, Ali

Mike, that's not a Louis RC; PSA is just ignorant. Those sport wallet cards were a UK issue from the 1930s, not 1930. Louis was 16 years old in 1930 and years away from turning pro. This is the Louis RC:

I just picked up the small version.

This would also probably be considered a RC, since the bio indicates a 1935 issue date:

There's also this Detroit Free Press premium issued for a week in the summer of 1935:

I was happy about these two pickups. I'm now a T225 Leach Cross from completing that set.

The Ogden's Series A pickup leaves me four short of now having that set:

76 Jack O'Brien
77 Jem Smith
78 Jim (Jem) Mace
93 Kid McCoy

I love both of these sets. There's some real stunning T225 cards especially.

Let me know if anyone has any of the above cards!

T218
 

Here's a T218

A Tolstoi at that. Nice

T218 Tolstoi's are very tough! Congrats on the pick-up.

Did anyone here get that Royal Glue Sullivan on eBay a few weeks ago?

T218 Tolstoi
 

Thanks, David and Brent. Yeah, I was underselling a little bit. I only have a few of these, but I look for them all the time. The non-boxer ones seem even scarcer...Here's another I have, not a new one...regards, Rob

There will be some higher grade Tolstois in the upcoming Love of the Game boxing auction.

Louis Rookies
 

Hey Adam, you're right. Joe went pro in 1934. It is still possible the strip is from 1935- though I now am not really sure of the exact date of the issuing. Still a cool card. I like that Max and Joe are on the same strip.

Here is my favorite Louis Rookie.
