Don't have much in the way of boxing but I'm a big fan of Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, & Ray Robinson.

I don't collect much modern, but some of the throwback releases have pretty cool (and dirt cheap, since most buyers are looking for hits and selling off their base for whatever they can get) designs. The Goodwin Champions in the early 2010's used a design layout and artwork very reminiscent of the N and T originals, and included some boxers from that era other than Sullivan who usually appears in these types of sets. I really like these as cool cards, that cost basically nothing.

I don't believe I know of another card of Mike Donovan between his 1911 T220's and this 2013. Fitzsimmons was in Ringside, 1956 Adventure, 2006 A&G, others and Gans has appeared many times since he was active. Cards of Sullivan, Corbett, Peter Jackson, Jack McAuliffe, Ketchel and a few others were all made in these designs

I got both of these as Jack Johnson cards started to take off a few years ago for about the same price a week apart. I bought the 1st one thinking that was the best I could get at the time and would save up for the other Johnson card in the set. A week later the second card pictured showed up and I decided to put in a bid not thinking I would win giving the price increases at the time. I paid about $25 a piece for them and I think the nicer one was a dollar or two less than the other. But the 1st one has really nice color to it.

Here to represent Britain is a seldom seen card of Ezzard Charles issued in 1953 by M.M. Frame.

Might as well start with one of my favorites.

That's a fun one, Mark.



1904 Jeffries-Munroe cabinet card by Sporting Life magazine. Only known example. With the rabid W600 collectors out there I was fortunate to grab up this one.
