Rare As F**k Modern (post-1980) Boxing

[D. Bergin]

Back to the 90's "Autographed" releases.

I just noticed this sticker on the front of some of my 1991 "Ringlords" sets.

In addition to confirming how incredibly over-produced they were (if indeed they did actually print that many), it also confirms the crazy low odds of pulling an Autographed card from one of the sets.

1 per 333 "sets", which retailed for about $15-$20 when they first came out.

Not sure I've seen a legitimate factory autographed card of these either.

TCBD has an autographed Holyfield listed that is numbered to 150 in Gold sharpie, but I'm not convinced that's not from an after-market signing (if real to begin with), since bulk lots of these are not hard to come by.

These were also released in little cello packs in the U.K., though I see no evidence of any autographed chase cards offered in those packs, based on the header cards of the packs I have.

Also, I'm not clear if only the sets with the "Special Offer" sticker on it were part of the autograph release, or ALL the sets that don't also have that sticker are part of the release. Either way there's still tons of sealed sets out there that have never been opened, lowering the known population (if there is one) to much less than 900.
