N566 Sullivan
The only known example of an N566 Newsboy John L. Sullivan. No longer part of my collection.

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.

Glad it found such an awesome landing spot! Hope all is well.

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.

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

The detail always impresses, in such a small card size. Comparing your Monte to a T218, there is somehow more detail in him than the much larger American Lithographic Company cards. I've also presumed they are the same printer as the Obaks, and the same artists, but direct evidence is so difficult to find for most anything about these old cards. I strongly regret trading my small collection away a few years ago, I only have a Soldier King (Kopec) and a John L. Sullivan (Pet) I bought a few weeks ago (I believe you were the seller, actually). I'd love to see someone put together a full run of either back

Spanish issue 1931 Evaristo Juncosa Jack Johnson. A cracking card. Many years ago one of the UK’s foremost boxing collectors, Bill Priddy, encouraged me to collect foreign issue cards. But, in my stubborn youth, I new better. However, regrettably, I did not!

Mark, I resisted foreign cards for a long time, too. My initial book effort was just "USA" American cards but then I decided to cover Canadian and Latin American cards, and before I know it I am trying to index (then collect) everything nominally American (hence covering NX5 because the PI was a US colony at the time). The overseas cards started up in earnest when I decided to go for a HOF set, and found that a good number of fighters have no American cards to speak of but had overseas cards. Now I am a type collector primarily with probably 1,200 or so different types, and a HOF collector. Oh, gotta post a card, so here's a nice French one:

I can add this 1895 Newsboy of James Corbett portrait to go along with the Sullivan above.
