My question is about 1938 Cartledge Razor Famous Prize Fighters cards. There are two finishes, Matte and Glossy. Population reports tend to tell me that the Glossy finish was released at a rate of around 20% of the more common Matte finish. Am I right? And then a value question. What premium do the Glossy finish cards bring, if any?

I picked up a Glossy Schmeling PSA 8 recently. SMR is $80, but I am assuming that SMR only prices the Matte finish.

Thanks for any help!

Boxing's not quite like baseball. Not quite as much intensity focused on lesser variations, especially on the more common British sets.

I've never seen a premium on one or the other, and I'd wager...(unless this set has become way more popular then I've realized in the last few years), that SMR is ridiculously high on this card.

Somebody may come along to prove me wrong however.
