Hi everyone, and greetings from a first-time poster to this thread. I recently took an interest in collecting boxing cards, and wanted to try to figure out which cards are considered the 'true' rookies of some of the most notable boxers. Here is my work-in-progress list:
1887 A&G N28 John L. Sullivan 1887 N174 Old Judge Bob Fitzsimmons 1890 Mayo James Corbett 1890 Mayo Young Griffo 1901 Ogden's Cigarettes Jim Jeffries (Heroes of the Ring Series, General Interest Series) 1908 Ogden's Cigarettes Tommy Burns 1908 Ogden's Cigarettes Joe Gans 1908 T226 Red Sun Stanley Ketchel 1909 American Caramel Marvin Hart 1909 Ogden's Cigarettes Jack Johnson 1909 Ogden's Cigarettes Sam Langford 1910 T218 Mecca Joe Jeanette 1912 Cohen Weenen Georges Carpentier 1915 Ogden's Cigarettes Jess Willard 1915 Ogden's Jimmy Wilde 1919 Underwood and Underwood Jack Dempsey (possibly a 1920 issue) 1921 W551 Mickey Walker 1922 Sporting Champions Benny Leonard (1920 W529) 1923 W580 Gene Tunney 1926 Greiling Cigarettes B+W Max Schmeling 1927 Greiling Cigarettes Jack Sharkey 1928 W513 Tony Canzoneri 1929 Godfrey Philips Primo Carnera 1933 Sport Kings Max Baer 1935 Pattreioux Sporting Celebrities James Braddock 1935 Pattreioux Sporting Celebrities Joe Louis 1938 FC Cartledge Henry Armstrong (1930s Exhibit) 1938 FC Cartledge John Henry Lewis (1938 Churchman, 1935?? UTC) 1947 D. Cummings and Son Sugar Ray Robinson 1947 D. Cummings and Son Jersey Joe Walcott 1947 D. Cummings and Son Willie Pep 1948 Leaf Jake La Motta 1948 Leaf Marcel Cerdan 1948-9 Futbol Po-Po / Boxeadores Disc Archie Moore 1951 Topps Ringside Ezzard Charles 1951 Topps Ringside Rocky Marciano 1958 DC Thompson Floyd Patterson 1958 Heinerle Ingemar Johansson 1960 Hemmets Journal Muhammed Ali 1964 Bobbie Joe Frazier (1964 Nestle) 1966 Panini Sonny Liston 1973 Panini George Foreman 1973 Panini Roberto Duran 1976 Panini Leon Spinks 1977-79 Sportscaster Sugar Ray Leonard 1977-79 Sportscaster Larry Holmes 1982 Panini Marvin Hagler 1986 Panini Mike Tyson (Italian version) 1986 Browns Boxing Evander Holyfield 1986 Browns Boxing Pernell Whitaker I have 1989 as the cutoff for this list, but very open to considering others that I may have missed that should be on here, up to a max of perhaps 50 cards. While I have a few of the above, I'd be interested in buying the others, and would love to jointly start an SGC or PSA set registry for something like the above if there is interest and agreement on specific issues. I would love to hear suggestions and tips from the real experts here, and look forward to learning more! Edited 9 Feb 2013 for updates Last edited by miklia; 02-11-2013 at 02:30 AM. |
