Yup. Took a month, give or take.

I received a package from Germany on Friday, after a little over three weeks en route. That’s much better than the 6 to 8 weeks from Canada, at the moment.

Hopefully it was worth the weight. It’s a really cool card, and one I’ve not seen before. I have to say though, I wish more of the European cards were a bit larger.

What did you get?

I like the smaller cards. I fit 'em 9 to a page in my album.

This Carnera completes all of the boxers in the ILSA Sweets set. It's not much to look at compared to the Dempsey and Schmeling, but I still like it. The ILSA Sweets cards are hard to find without paper loss or stains from glue, due to they were supposed to be stuck in an album. I also find it interesting that I purchased the card from Germany, already in a PSA slab.

I recently acquired this Slapsy Maxie's post card. It's also not much to look at, but it's a cool piece of boxing history.

Nice one. I have a few Slapsy Maxie's items including a snapshot with that photo on it.

After seeing some of Chad's Tolstoi's and Cliff's great find, it's almost shameful to share this one. But, it's been a few days since I've yammered about Tolstoi's. Lunghi here puts me at 43 out of the 50 possible cards. I will consider it a great win if I can add even one more T218 I need this year.
