Seriously now, it's amazing how well some of the old video has been preserved and improved with time. It's a ton of fun to put on some of the old video when sorting through a stack of T or N cards while seeing these guys in action. Baseball and boxing have the best and longest histories of the sports, but unlike baseball, boxing mostly forgets its past. Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and Russell Crowe as James J. Braddock are about all that get mentioned before Ali.

Today was a good day. 22 of the 23 fragments are now reunited back together, the last remaining is the torn Choyinski in another board members collection. Thank you to the private collector who worked a deal with me!

Thought the odds of doing this were near 0 after the original seller finally clued on, happy to get this close to restoring it.

Greg,

I can’t believe the condition of these panels. It’s really impressive.

IBRO sounds right up my alley, I will look into them. Thank you

"F'ing great" and "can't believe" is how I think of them. I'm almost out of excuses to keep posting panels now . Amazing they survived at all. There's a partial sheet of 1908 Ogdens and the 4 N310 Mayo strips, I don't know of other uncut boxing material pre-WWI. Can't wait to see what we uncover next, there's always more out there.

And here's a card. Thanks to my card pal for swapping Zbysko's and getting me a Miners Extra back (the one I actually need!). Freshly liberated from the SGC slab to slot into my set. Loving the large, colorful lithographs in this set. Up to 29 different front/back combos now.

Tommy Murphy, Khedival, no stats, no factory makes 143/250. The lack of a Jack Johnson and recognition of the backs makes it cheap to build, but the lack of recognition of the confusing backs make it difficult to get cards anywhere but patiently waiting for the right front/back combos to appear on eBay.

Greg, you'd be a good candidate for IBRO (International Boxing Research Organization). Basically SABR, but for boxing. I let my membership lapse a few years ago (for no good reason really), but they have a tooooooon of stuff behind their paywall, and they love contributions to their monthly publication, which can be 100+ pages thick sometimes.
