I used to watch boxing with my father all the time, (Lennox Lewis heyday) and he got me a subscription to The Ring magazine and I ordered alot of back issues, specifically the special editions such Top 100 punchers of all time, and all time weight class rankings. After my father passed I really lost interest in a lot of that. I always enjoyed collecting cards although it was specifically football at the time. I gave up on that too.
But late last year I bought my first T206 which really got me back into card collecting (I collected bobbleheads and went to alot of games), While going through my searches for T cards on the bay I came across a T218 Joe Gans and it all came back to me. (wow this was the guy I read about when I was 10).
So Im drawn to the boxers life stories in a way, and the history boxing had in America. But I guess for me the draw is really just memories.
