Show us a personal favorite boxing card

Doesn't have to be valuable, just one you happen to enjoy.

1951 Ringside salesman sample: Objectively, this card has a lot going for it. It is a Marciano RC, it is rare, and it has multiple HOFers on it. Subjectively, I love the colors and graphics, especially the back. I think it is one of the nicest graphics packages Topps ever did and probably my favorite salesman sample of theirs.

Sorry this is off-topic, Adam, but I've been trying for weeks to purchase your 2012-13 book through Lulu, but can't connect. Might be because I'm in Beijing. Could you please e-mail me at trailonice@yahoo.com with info on how I can purchase directly from you through PayPal. Please include the cost of shipping to my home address in Canada. Thanks!

Adam, I love that salesman sample. The colors are great and the back is neat. Isn't that the same as the box top? Picking a favorite is always tough, but I've always liked the simplicity of this Sullivan.

Lightweight Champion Arthur Chambers. I have always liked this pose. You can see all his fingers in this photo. Which dates it before his middle finger got amputated in the late 70's. It's funny in his older photos he is always hiding his left hand. My wife says he looks like a child molestor in this photo. Which kind of takes the enjoyment out of the cdv. But anyway nice shot of him with belts and trophies..

I picked 2 favs--1 from the 19th C & 1 20th C, both from my '51 Ringside set.

Kid Gavilan & his "bolo punch" was a boxer I grew up watching on the Wed nite Pabst Blue Ribbon bouts and the Fri nite "Gillette Cavalcade of Sports" on the old B&W TV back in the early '50's

Kid Gavilan. I always thought that was such a cool nickname when I was a kid.

I've always been a fan of the Newsboy cabinets - can't go wrong for the price on these!

This is the photo used by Jeffries: six-of-clubs: “Fredericks-Rafferty “ A Pair Of Uncle Sam's Best Featherweights”

I have not yet identified who's who.

So many athletes of that time did not photograph well, but tell me the man in the tighty whities is not like beautiful sculpture.

Don- I can't believe I actually gasped out loud when I saw the John L. cigar box with cards display. Cool stuff, man!

[GasHouseGang]

I do have one Sullivan I don't see in your display.

More of the great John L.

What the heck, a few more of my favorites that just happen to be John L.
