Most Undervalued Boxing Card/Set

[D. Bergin]

Love that Monzon card.

I've got both of those Ali Malaysia playing cards, but without that style of numbering on the front. That seems unusual from what I'm used to seeing with that issue, though I think there's tons of different variations on those.

Adam, I have a few of the Malaysian Ali cards. They are awesome cards. What year is the Dempsey Oh Boy Gum card?

Late 20s.

Like the Schmeling photo. Monzon's red girdle looks kind of scary to me.

Adam, what year is the Hocus Focus card of Marciano? Is it 1959 (I believe?) like the other Hocus Focus cards? I have been looking for a card of his that predates his 1951 Ringside or if that is not possible then I am looking for a non-Ringside card of his from 1951. I am trying to keep common cards out of my rookie collection.

Doesn't anyone have any other cards that they think are great buys, or have any great success or extreme failure stories with collecting and hoping for a rise in value. I always try to do about a 50/50 split of collecting cards that I like and trying to buy cards because they are too good of a value to pass up. When I purchase for value I try to flip the cards quickly, so that I can use the profits to buy cards that I like and not care about value.

I don't think you are going to get much of an answer to this question because you are in essence asking that anyone who cares about investing in cards divulge to you his investment strategy, which is not exactly the smartest thing to do with a potential competitor.

1955/56. You might be thinking of the Hocus Fokus cards from Germany. It is most definitely not common; I've seen only a few. Great info on the set:
