That's tough. I admire your effort as I wouldn't know where to begin either. Doing just 50 only opens the door for fighters that should/shouldn't be included. If we're going to do it I say we do all the IBHOF inductees, but I'm just someone that's making 12 posts instead of organizing my thoughts and creating one big one.
Smiley face.

There is a significant price increase for the SC as opposed to the SE&S. I would gladly pay 3x for the Sporting Celebrities what I paid for my Sporting Events & Stars. However, I think the value is even greater than that (possibly 5x). It's also a case of "find it somewhere else." I've seen one for sale in the past few years and it's still on ebay with a very high BIN.

hehe, yeah I had thought about starting there as well, but decided against it for a couple of reasons:
1) It's a big list. Hoping to keep this one a bit smaller (i.e. manageable) and limited to the iconic fighters. 2) There's already a PSA set reg for the IBHOF list, but I dislike it as you can include any card from an inductee to 'complete' the list. If I wanted to do that, I could buy a 1991 All World set or something and be halfway there. Also few of the guys who have already chimed in have already gone a long way on making that RC list, and I don't want to merely repeat it. 3) Top 50 lists are always fun to bicker about, as are which are the 'true' rookies. If we can come to some sort of agreement, it may bring in new collectors of boxing cards. When I considered starting this project, the hardest thing to find has been credible information on RCs. Even an imperfect (but well-sourced) list could help excite new collectors. Thanks again for the help - this has already been a bunch of fun to put together so far.

nah, the reg is only a part of it - I'm collecting them for myself, not merely to have an arbitrary number assigned to my collection by a grading company. Just coming from the bb/fb collecting arena where RCs are pretty well established, I found it tough to figure out which were the actual rookies of many on this list. As noted, the debate is part of the fun!

Then why not say eff the registry? Just because they've got some crappy one set up already doesn't mean we can't do the real definitive list. I say do all IBHOF inductees and make it the real thing. If the goal is to strike up some discourse and possibly learn something then that's the thing to do.
Of course, I'm not the one doing the list editing so take my input with a grain of salt.

I started out just a Dempsey collector but what I found was that the more I learned about certain issues and certain fighters the more I became a fan of them. Why cap this thread's ceiling just because the TPGers have screwed up their own list?
Just my $0.02

Valuable points. I think that there's easily room for the existence of both - with this as a subset of the larger. However, a complete IBHOF list is at least 4x the size of this one, and to be honest quite daunting (and expensive). While that list would be for the true completeist, I'm hoping to make something a bit more accessible and attuned to interested novices like me that still improves upon what currently exists.
