Any boxer in the Burdick Collection that is listed in my book with an * would be one I verified in person when I was researching at the Met but had not seen 'in the wild' when I compiled the list. That would be Ryan and Taylor on your redline. There may not have been any offered for sale anywhere nor is there an available image, but they definitely exist. The other cards in my checklist that are in the Met's list also exist. I checked my then-existing checklist against what was there.

55 Malcolm W. Ford is an athlete, not an actor.

Thank you! Correcting it now.
As always when a name I don't know comes up, I just looked Ford up. What a strange life he led and an unfortunate end. |

This is the best I could find for the card of Mr. Sparrow Golden, the one I was able to most recently cross off my target list but for which a better image would be desirable. While the photos used are pirated and they haven't aged that well with the massive fading problems, it's a shame most of the subjects are so tough because it's a wonderful chronicle of 1860's-1880's boxing photos. |

Don't mean to muddy the waters on this thread, but I picked this up a couple years ago. Not sure if the fighter has been identified or if this "anonymous" is already part of the checklist in some way. Sorry for the poor photo. My phone's camera is broken.

The other two anonymous subjects are Jack Files (identified finally on this board last year by others) and Frank Slavin, who thankfully is a recognizable face and easier to ID. Perhaps opening a can of worms, but I am not sure this card actually is Jack Fallon. I can't recall how this one was identified. Also attaching a picture of Jack from outside the cards. |

And, I think I have debunked a card on my list of suspicious targets.
This auction has the Jim Kill in PSA's pop report. The auction correctly notes the label is an error and this is Jim Fell. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...-pr-3865973453 As I cannot find a "Jim Kill" and its only source is the PSA pop report which is an error, the card previously numbered 80 in my list is a false card that cannot reasonably be held to exist and must be removed from the target list. This would knock the list back to 147, with I suspect, some still not known, quite possibly a caption variation or two, and a couple more 'false cards' that needs debunking. This is a perfect example of why I look for proper, real evidence of a card rather than taking a preceding claim as the proof - honest mistakes are made by all of us (well, PSA more often than most of us ). |

And back up to 148 on the suspect list. "John L. Sullivan" vs. "'J.L. Sullivan" with the name in different placements as well.

Nice catch. I was gonna say "who the hell is Jim Kill?". |
