Please help with this issue. What do I have here?

I forgot to mention this - I found out that they are called 1955 All American Sports Club.

I just got confirmation from Hunt Auctions that there was indeed a completed auction of these. They did not know what to call them. The auction was not archived, but Daisy (the lady's name) at Hunt Auctions sent me the description and the photo. In there auction, there was only 10 of the 16 sheets and it sold for a whopping $880.00 plus juice. Plus, mine looks like it is in much better condition than the Hunt lot. In the Hunt lot, some had pin holes. Mine has no pin holes and mine is a complete set of 16.

Thanks for the heads up on the Hunt Auction.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I was typing fast. Now, it's corrected. Her name was Daisy.

I agree with Adam and think these are closer to strip cards and if I were still at Beckett, I'd list these as well. That is just my opinion, and I understand Bob's position as well. Neither of us would be wrong on this, we just look at items like this differently.

Thanks, Rich. Having had the chance now to hold a sheet in hand I would definitely categorize them as a "W" set. They could easily be made into nice strip cards. If they had a decent selection of fighters, frankly, I might be tempted. I mean, at least the baseball cards have The Mick, Jackie, etc. A 1955 boxing issue with no Marciano or Sugar Ray but with Sammy Giuliani? ugh...who the heck is Sammy Giuliani???

Just wanted to update everyone on the 1955 All American Sports Club set. I tried listing it on Ebay several weeks ago with a Buy It Now of $995 or best offer. No offers. So, I contacted Hunt Auctions and they consigned it for me. It ended Wednesday night for $575.00 plus juice. Not what I was hoping for, but it will do.
