Nothing as cool as a Marciano card, but Marvin Hart was a Heavyweight Champion too (sort of). Cards 121, 122 and 123 in my set, 2 away from the 50% marker. Getting close to the time to put more serious effort into it soon.

The lack of a Johnson makes this set pretty cheap, but the roster is star-studded. Jack Sullivan was one of many claimants to the American middleweight title and fought several prominent heavyweights that were much larger. Papke held the world title for a time. Hart was proclaimed the world champion after Jeffries retired. Most of the guys in the set are in this tier, stars in their day, obscure and cheap now.
