[Box-Cards]

Now with my computer station finally fully replaced following my July 8th house fire (but still waiting for the former station's hard drive data to be scrub-rescued and received back)--I found a chance to visit past posts and post-add on's missed during the meanwhile.

I had been waiting to see the scan of this card's full obverse before the fire happened so I just checked back on the original posting. Noticed the card had also been slab-graded since I last checked, noticing it was labeled within the slab as being "Patterson/Ali." This was likely based on what I had previously contributed to this thread about the artwork having been based on a photo specifically taken during Floyd's bout with Muhammad...but I have to offer an opinion of my own here concerning the grading company calling the "title" of this card a "Patterson/Ali #42"; I feel it was incorrect to do so. The art is not representative of Patterson's actual image either in general or as specifically pictured in the photo taken during their bout. The 'person' getting hit by Muhammad in this card's art adaptation doesn't even look like Floyd and obviously wasn't meant to do so by the artist who merely drew in a generic (unknown/non-named) opponent for Ali but based on the photo shot that was taken during the Patterson/Ali fight.

Check the real fight-photo out on Google and then compare it to the artist' opponent drawn on this card--no match there. So, perhaps the grading company shouldn't have included "Patterson" as part of the slab's title name either. I'm just saying--because I seem to have contributed in some way that resulted in the grading company branding the card with a title that obviously should be considered misnamed. How ironic; one of my biggest pet peeves is seeing a card slab misnamed in its title, or credited to the wrong year or original country of origin.
