Let's See Some Awesome Boxing Cards!

Who doesn't want to play with boxing cards?

Here's the Ol' Master. Though Mr. Gant looks more like a master of karate or something here. Freshly liberated from an overgraded SGC 5.5 slab that it had no business whatsoever being in.

That's quite an accurate representation of Gans, except I am guessing the sash would be red-white-blue. Original photo



His Kung Fu was mightier than yours.

Whether a boxing match or a Kung-Fu bout, I just know that I don't want to be within 100 miles of Gans when a fight happens.

Here's some more for today. Top is an original N43. Bottom is a box topper from 2007 A&G, one of 15, Frazier being the only pugilist. Most of the aesthetically nice (in my biased view) modern boxing cards have been randoms like this in Allen Ginter, Goodwin etc. I don't want to spam every card in my master set builds and repeat a design too much, so here's something a little different.

Wasn’t there a Tyson one year? Think I have one somewhere.

There was a Tyson in the 2006 set, his A&G's have some value now for some reason. I don't think any of the other years have a boxer N43 box topper, though most sets have 1 or 2 boxers in the base set of varying quality (looking at you, Sonny Fredrickson).

As do most Tysons; I guess he's the most interesting living heavyweight.



Found it.

Should have picked one up when they were $10 cards. Looks like I don’t have one in my modern boxing box here.
