Definitely beyond my expertise.

Here is another of my boxing cards I picked and had graded because I thought it was such great condition. This one I sent to SGC.

Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try and get PSA to fix the myriad wrong information in its systems in regard to boxing cards.

For that set, that is great condition.

My kind of condition, a 1/1.5 type card but with the image pretty clean and the registration 99% right. Pretty much all T227 Johnson's are off a smidgeon at the bottom if you look closely, I don't think I've ever seen a perfect one. This is the Miner's Extra back, I have an Honest Long cut in a bit worse shape. The Miners is tougher but doesn't sell much higher. I only need Frank Klaus to complete the boxing Miners Extra subset.

Looks like one I used to own.

Doesn't that describe pretty much every boxing card? ;)

oh SNAP!

I'd consider it a good thing to have had pretty much everything at one point or another. I'm making do with my narrowly focused humble little sets. The last 10% of my want list remaining will take 40+ years...

From the same source, an obscure one. Fitzsimmons is the tougher of the 2 (I think) recurring yellow smear variants. This card is a factory 649, which is a new discovery. The other known examples are factory 30's.

Now at 28/50 for T218 Tolstoi. I was searching eBay past sales to try to understand pricing and saw a Loughery that sold for $100. I clicked on it, and it said, "You won this auction."

I was reading the stats on the back. Almost every fight was a "no decision". He did defeat Unk Russell, which makes me think Russell was not very good, or had a bad day.
