Oh I wish I was in Dixie. Thank you to a board member and pal for these, 8 Dixie Queen's to help my little set along. I'm 21 deep now. New cards make me smile fierce as a 40 pounder. Hooray! Hooray!
Look away though, the condition is not pretty. I think the Welsh might be my first SGC boxing card that I think is under graded, some toning on the back on the small handwriting on the top left. I'll find out if there's hidden damage when I bust the slab. Dixie Queens are pretty tough, looking for a particular one can be really tough. I imagine the survival rate of these was lower than most sets, with the very thin stock and the recycled images at a lower quality than their parent set. I'm 1 card away from a total Master T220 set, so these are a perfect complement as I'm about out of T220 to look for.

Not as cool as the Dixie's, but I got another T218 miscut for my collection. Cost a little too much, but it shows the card adjacent is another Johnson Green. This doesn't help much, as Johnson being on his own sheet would be printed this way, but so too if he was substituted over other cards in a sheet similar to the T220 Silver array. I suspect Johnson was printed on a sheet all on his own, for at least series 1 production. He is clearly a super print and his back pattern strongly suggests he did not replace HJ Handy as has often been said.

Nothing as cool as a Marciano card, but Marvin Hart was a Heavyweight Champion too (sort of). Cards 121, 122 and 123 in my set, 2 away from the 50% marker. Getting close to the time to put more serious effort into it soon.
The lack of a Johnson makes this set pretty cheap, but the roster is star-studded. Jack Sullivan was one of many claimants to the American middleweight title and fought several prominent heavyweights that were much larger. Papke held the world title for a time. Hart was proclaimed the world champion after Jeffries retired. Most of the guys in the set are in this tier, stars in their day, obscure and cheap now.

I received my Joe Louis United Tobacco back from PSA. Not a high grade but I'm ok with that. I sent in a Sonny Liston Swedish Rekord RC last week, so I'll probably have that back in about 3 months or so. I don't really collect boxing, but I have acquired a few over the years. Maybe it's because I don't engage much with boxing cards, but I've always thought they are pretty affordable.
