Not selling, but just thought I'd update your list. The Jack Goodman card has been long checklisted, but nobody has ever been able to produce one, and the background design of the image indicates it was not added to the set until the white border expanded release of 50 cards. It almost certainly does not actually exist. Mike Donovan of To-Day was found as the 25th card when it appeared on eBay in 2006. I see it is missing on this list. Donovan and James J. Corbett are extreme rarities.

I've found Tolstoi to be pretty tough, if still cheap and easier than the T218 Tolstoi's. I've been stuck at 45/50 for awhile now. Good luck on your finishing your silvers! |

Donovan and Corbett are just brutal. I got the first Donovan on eBay many years ago but never could manage to win a Corbett. Good luck with the set. You’re gonna need it.

I remember the feeling of dismay when the Donovan was discovered. I have my base 23, probably all I'll ever have. One buyer bought all my doubles at Chantilly this summer.

Well since there are no PSA 4 Corbett cards, why not have a fake price to go with a non-existent card?

Have either of you ever come across this variation of silver? Admittedly I've only handled about 40 or so but they are always a very silvery silver and this is pretty matte.

You can also find cards that appear to have received a double coat of the silver-color application. They are much, much darker and fairly obvious in hand. I have not noticed this with T42/T43/T80/T205 etc with any regularity. Cards with the silver misaligned a bit will show a tannish color printed ink border beneath the silver. Under magnification, you can see a little bit of it on most cards. |

No variation, just aging. Look at T205 baseball. They can vary from pretty shiny to very dull. I once had some from a find and was surprised how vibrant the tone of the border was. I suspect the same of T220s.

T220 silver border boxing corbett / donovan
Highly recommend the boxing book that Adam has published for a number of years. Not only have I learned a ton about boxing cards but it's a tremendous cross-over reference for baseball cards as well. Learned about the Donovan rarity when it was featured on the cover of one of his books. See attached Donovan / Corbett / Coburn Proof (blank back, no print on front)

Silver Update
Hey Fellas....
sent off my nice silvers to SGC. the worst one came back a 5 and the best cards came back "A" I guess maybe they thought they were short, but wouldnt that mean a TRM designation? oh well waste of $20 each. I hate grading... nice to look at anyway, will look nice upon my office shelf :-) group.jpg I still need a few more, have some dupes to swap if anyone wants to explore a swap. need: Coburn Jas. J. Corbett Donovan Jackson McCoy TTYL!

Grading is like a pretty flower that smells bad.
