I always thought that Hong Kong Phooey thing was such a weird pose that they had to be making it up. I was wrong.

Never get tired of this photo. Still don't know what he was doing, or why but it's hilarious. This card, the E77 Kaufman with half his top inexplicably missing, the E79 Sharkey 'bare ass', there's some funny old pictures and artwork.

Cards 148 and 149 in my master set. Overpaid a little, but that's okay as it's getting less common to spot the combinations I still need, and this is the most difficult set to trade for as nobody cares about the 10 backs and the checklist is annoying to compare to collections.

Unnumbered, but the golds are given as having a print run of 9 from the 2010 Ringside issue. I won the three eBay listings from the big run listed for the fighters from my collecting era for just a few bucks. Love the Turkey Red's.

This just arrived today after a few weeks in the mail. I have no idea if these are relatively common, or not. I just found it pretty interesting. I would guess circa 1932 -1934 due to this was when he was the Flyweight champion. It looks like he fought Young Perez on a couple of different occasions.

46/50 Tolstoi backs down, and 628/632 for what I suspect is every printed front/back combination. All the toughies, recognized and unrecognized, are done, just waiting for the last Tolstoi's I need to come up again and finish this one.

They aren't easy Chad, but as is the case with so many boxing cards, rare and obscure go hand in hand. I have one I got several years ago. Haven't seen too many others. Is it in Seconds Out?

Greg, those gold Ringsides are nice. I picked up several of them for very cheap about two years ago. I think the company did itself a disservice by not formally numbering them.
