Cool thanks! Will have to order that!

This just came in the mail. No idea who they are, but what a cool image. From 1904.

Maybe I overpaid but I don't care. Collect what you like, right?

Very happy with this pickup.

I wish you would have posted that previously. :D;) Seriously, though, cool SRR pickup from an iconic boxing set.

Recent additions.

A recent HOF inductee, he has no cards, promos or other memorabilia to speak of, so I had to go after this photo for my HOFer set.

Oh, and a 1948 Leaf SRR white back in nm-mt is never a wrong buy. Now you need to get the red glove variation to match it!

Thanks Adam & Eddie! I'd been looking for the right example for awhile, but still keeping an eye out for the red version.

Here's a fun one, an oversized PC from Louis-Walcott. Haven't seen one of these ever before:

Tickled to pick this up from Mile High
 

Looks like a higher grade set - all in at $205. I've always liked this deck; interest has certainly waned.

Love that set. Great price. That's my absolute favorite Jack Johnson card from a purely aesthetic standpoint.

Does it have the pamphlet?

Doesn’t say. I did not take that into account.

They almost ever do. I wanted to get a good look at one.

Finally got a decent Jack Johnson and just started getting into wrestling cards.

Mike Tyson Autographed Rookie
 

I just got this back from PSA. I purchased it raw a few years ago and totally forgot about it. :) I thought it was a NM-MT card and was surprised it came back a 6 EX-MT. I then spotted a TINY ding on the bottom right corner that is mostly visible on the back. I probably missed it before sending it in. Oh well, I'm still happy with it.

A signed Tyson RC? Nicely done.

Can someone explain why PSA sometimes will assign the card but not the auto a grade, and other times grade both? Is it a matter of what you ask for?

That's correct. So on the PSA/DNA form, it looks like this:

1. TYPE OF SUBMISSION: 򪪪 Grading 򪪪 Review 򪪪 Crossover (one type per submission)

2. TYPE OF GRADING: 򪪪 Card 򪪪 Autograph or 򪪪 No Grade (authentic only; card and autograph)

If you just want the card graded, but not the autograph, then you would just check the first box.

I wasn't really doing raw wrestling cards but I've seen so few of these Shawn Michaels 1989 Market Square rookies that I figured I'd better jump on it. I figure I could either submit it myself or hang onto it until a graded one surfaces. With only six graded by PSA, though, I may be waiting a while if I don't slab this one :)

Just picked up this sweet red backed E79 for a steal. Almost got the Attell but missed out on that one.

Nice! I guess the seller missed it.

Seller totally missed them. No mention of the red back on any of the three. The Attell was even mislabeled as an E77 in the listing.

There were more than 3, there were 6 of them including a Jeffries and a Jack Johnson vs Cole... SGC should have also labeled them with Red Back as well. Great pick up! The Red Back E79's are really tough!!!

Really, there were 6 of them. How did I miss the other three! Oh well. I'm happy with the one I got.

Does SGC ever label them as red backed or no? I agree they should if they are so tough.

Fantasy Card
 

I have never been interested in reprints, but some of the fantasy cards are pretty compelling. Like this 1948 Leaf Ali.

Edit: The scanner caused the imperfection on the right edge. Card is cut perfectly square.

I like that Ali Jerry. Is it by a major company, or is it a one of a kind fantasy piece?

Thanks, David. This card is from eBay user 2013cardsforcheap. He has tons of cool fantasy cards. You being GasHouseGang, like me, will love all the great Stan Musial cards that never were.

He did an amazing job on his Macho Man Randy Savage baseball card.

I think it is the greatest fantasy card of all time.

Picked up a lot of over 50 Panini boxers:

I just started really getting into collecting boxing at National this year. Here are a few of my recent pick ups.

Nice!

Looks like a great start. Congrats!

Wesley Andrews, very nice!

I just grabbed this one to offset the shipping cost of another card I purchased from the same seller, and I thought the price was too good to pass up.

24/25, just need the Jas. J. Corbett now

Wow Adam, where do you find these cards? What is the set and the year? I'm not familiar with it.

Nice rare cards all the way around this thread

I guess I'm just moving the pics from BST over into the pickup thread, but here are my latest Sullivan acquisitions. Thanks John.:)

Not a card, a fighter issued publicity photo from France, from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Bad condition but you have to take what you get sometimes, especially when it comes to Young Perez.

I've been searching for this item for many years:

H815 Adam Hats Jack Dempsey. I figured one had to exist because he was part of their celebrity matchbook promotion and the other sports subjects in that issue have cards.

Doesn't he look like he should be holding a machine gun? He really looks like a mobster in that photo. :D Oh, love the card by the way!

It has not been easy to find one of these.

Great to see you pick it up!

Common enough card, but attractive I think.

Nice centering on that one,
