Default N174 Old Judge Bob Fitzsimmons
Thought it was interesting enough to share, a fellow boxing collector in the UK recently picked up a N174 Old Judge Bob Fitzsimmons. Very tough card.

Mustache always throws me off when I see that pose of Fitzsimmons.

The mustache isn't the worst part of that pic. He also was wearing "plumpers" in his tights because he was ashamed of his bird legs. At least that's the legend.

You guys check out my updated site: boxingcollectors.com. I have loads of scans of pre-1920 photos as part of my gallery. And if you need a scan, I own hundreds of cabinets and cdv's.

Hi Andy,

He bought it from another collector in England. Unfortunately he has no plans to sell it. Normally will only trade or sell a card if it's a duplicate.

Default Interesting Information
It's interesting to me that we know this card is an Australian issue, yet the last 2 examples of this card that surfaced were both in England. Prior to the recent trade that Aaron mentions, the last example of the card that I am aware of was sold to Jay Miller on ebay from another seller in England several years ago.

Could just be coincidence. I know of one UK collector that's held some extremely rare cards in the past and he did many trades years ago with collectors in Australia during his regular visits.

Curious why anyone assumes that they were issued in Australia? Other than the boxers depicted came from that area, style of card etc... Not sure it makes sense that a handful or so of the N174's were issued from Australia and one from UK (Jem Smith). Anybody else have any thoughts?
