Andy, I was lucky enough to pick this one up. I'll take good care of it until it passes on to the next lucky individual.

I need to post a boxing card for today. Here's a classic.

Something different from my normal long-dead guys. Thought he was a great talent, ducked by the best competition in his prime, clearly robbed by boxing's corruption in his big fight. Seems to have lost interest in fighting serious competition at all afterwards, the Rolls fight was just embarrassing to the sport.
I don't do much modern (there's too much of it, pricing is absurd, and the amount of 1/1's makes master set collecting that I like to do an effectively impossible task), but keeping with "good looking boxing cards" is pretty easy when so few are made. UD's Goodwin and Topps Ginter line produce a good boxing card or 2 every year. I like the designs, and since everyone is only looking for hits to resell, if you buy when all the box crackers are selling off in the first weeks after release, everything but the marque hits can be had for very little. |

This Al Kaufman card got me started on a T225 set.

It's a great set, I'm at work on the master run now (1/3 of the way through). The lack of a Johnson has kept this issue particularly cheap still and collector-friendly. Are you doing the type 2 white borders as well? Those are also cheap, but pretty tough.

Seems the name of the game is Al Kaufman, we've had his T225, His E77, his E78, his T9 in the set thread all within a week or so.
Here's his most available card for us basics, and I think his finest looking non-cabinet, if not nearly as cool as Ed's E78 up above. This was one of the first T218's I picked up in my set: |

Hi Brent, love to be working on any of the E sets, but they're impossible to find in decent condition. I probably have 10-20 from each set, but they rarely come around. If you have any, let me know. Thanks

Hey Dave, are you a descendant of that Hogan?
I've got two boxers in the family tree, but only one has any cards. Also made two magazine covers that I know of: A couple of posters:

[QUOTE=Exhibitman;2109166]Hey Dave, are you a descendant of that Hogan?
I've got two boxers in the family tree, but only one has any cards. No, I'm not related to him. I just collect cards in any sport with their first or last name Hogan. Just something different to collect. Anyone except hulk Hogan. |

Interesting. You are the second collector I've met who collects cards of fighters with the same surname that are not related to him.
