I can add this 1895 Newsboy of James Corbett portrait to go along with the Sullivan above.

Here is the Campbell mount Fitzsimmons with the Newsboy photo used as a Boston Herald ad:

Maybe not "awesome", but interesting (to some of us.)

All good, Jerry. I have an entire album of UK cards that are not 'rare' but that make me happy and that is what makes them awesome.

Just for s***s and giggles today, here are the two variations on E282 Oh Boy Gum (Goudey) Jack Dempsey:



Here is the original image (but not the actual photo) that was used to make it:



The photo was shot at Universal Studios where both men worked. My guess is that this is a staged shot rather than a genuine sparring workout shot because JD is wearing regulation gloves and a cup while Mix is wearing slip-on 16 oz gloves and no apparent cup. No way does a cup-less Mix go up against Dempsey with the latter wearing regulation gloves. As Mick would say: "He'll kill yuh to death inside of three rounds!"

Every boxing card listed on this forum is awesome! Boxers and Boxing, if it’s on a card we want to collect it and share it. Personally, I want to see EVERYTHING! The good, bad and the ugly. All are welcome. 🙏 Tonight’s card is a seldom seen issue! Ogden’s General Interest “F” series Pat Daly. It is a seldom seen issue, however, it’s only when you see the back of this card that you realise it’s special. American in its wording but definitely a British issue. “Favorite”? Wait for it? Misspelled or Misspelt. I believe it to be a Tobacco War beauty!! My wife says I talk too much. Lol!

Great card Mark. Haven't seen that before!
