Latest Pickups

[G1911]

4 poster cuts on the left, and some more cards for my master build on the right. Lewis turned out to be an upgrade. 142/250 cards down. T225-1's are not super tough for any of the backs I think, but that there are 10 of them for each subject means that it will take many years for all of the cards to even surface to market.

Was happy to win this 2012 Panini Golden Age. The image short prints were only 2 per case and are hard to find now, doesn't crop up often. The card on right is the SP image variant, the card on left the base. I like picking up the modern renditions of the 19th and early 20th century boxers that appear in the N/T/E sets.

Last pickup of the year unless one of you guys wants to cut down my want list.

T218 Master Set card #626 out of 632 possible (maybe 631, I might be chasing one phantom) now in hand. Was very happy to see this one pop up.

Guess I lied, snuck one good one in before the clock strikes 12. Ketchell, actually Attell, completes my 22 card E75 set. The 2 error cards are pretty tough, was happy to see one come to market.

Broke my c. 1910 focus for this one. I don't know what version it is, there are apparently red mojo, red wave, red refractor, red etc. versions that I can't keep up with and tell the difference between in a picture. 1990 Pro Set Football is one of my favorite sets of all time (great photography, I like the design, so many variations, and so so cheap) and Fury is probably a true great. One of the problems with modern boxing is that most of the cards are rare and pretty ugly or low effort. There are so few well made ones to pick from. I tend to pick up the pugilists from Goodwin, Ginter, and random one-offs like this if they are cheap.

The back gives his record as 30-0-1 but then says that he beat Wilder 3 times. I'm not sure if this is an uncorrected error, or they are passive aggressively acknowledging the obvious instead of a judge's BS

I'm sure I'm not the only one making pick ups. Show 'em folks!

2 French Mags from 1910 featuring Sam Langford and Tom Sharkey on the covers.

Also: a 1955 Swedish non-sports related comic book featuring a great 3 card panel on the back, with Rocky Marciano book-ended by John L. and Corbett.
