N332 S.F. Hess Tom Sayers

[RCMcKenzie]

Brent, that sounds like a great collection.

Greg, I was mistaken. I do not currently own any SFHess boxing. I have these boxing cards of OJ and GQ and a baseball of Hess. I think I must have sold the 1 or 2 Hess I had, or thought the Gypsy Queen was a Hess.

I'm happy to settle for N174 pictures!

This is my lone S.F. Hess card, with the Nonpareil looking a lot less intimidating in his suit than in Rob's N174 card with his fists out.

I have a Charley Mitchell with the ad cut off; that's it.

Sounds like Brent has it nailed in terms of images.

Charley Mitchell is still needed! Unless he is the card listed as "Young Mitchell"

Thank you to Brent for providing 24 missing images, and letting us use them in the gallery that should be updated in the near future.


Looking for images of:
Barney Aaron
Tom Allen
Patsey Cardiff (named spelled correctly)
Johnny Clark
Joe Coburn
Professor Donaldson
Jack Files
Austin Gibbons
Sparrow Golden
Billy Madden
Joe McAuliffe
Paddy Ryan
Steve Taylor
Joe Wormald
Fritz Wright


I am personally doubtful that some of these subjects actually exist; primarily the ones with names that I cannot connect to an actual person alive at that time. There are probably other subjects waiting to be discovered whose names are not on the list of claimed cards. Some of those with names like a known famous fighter with a card I am also not confident are real cards.

We have photos gathered of 2 anonymous subjects, one of whom is Frank Slavin. Anonymous subjects would be useful to see as well if anyone has any.

Sorry for hijacking OP

Hi all,

Here’s images of Barney Aaron and Patsey Cardiff. Cards I have in my collection. Sorry for the poor photo’s. These are so difficult to find especially over here in England!

Hi all again,

Checking through my raw cards. Here’s a Patsey Fallon which is a different image to the one on the moviecard database.

Thank you Mark! 3 more new images.

Upon closer review of the scans I am gathering I believe the "Patsy Fallon" in the gallery is actually the Jack Fallon card, which has no name displayed identifying the subject, and will need to be updated.

I'd really love to see, especially, Sparrow Golden & Jack Files. I cannot yet identify men of these names at the time of the cards. These 2 seem to come from Burdick, but the Met has no image for these cards listed. These 2 are on my suspect list right now.

Also looking for the non-boxers if folks are also collecting the athletes, actors and handful of celebrities. I think we can get closer to 150 total subjects than the ~130 the checklists hover around. Thank you everyone who has shared publicly or privately their collections of these with me the last few days for checklisting and research.

It is really a shame that this set has not aged so well; when one appears with a relatively unfaded image they are really gorgeous photographs. I'm really appreciating the unique photos used in this set that we don't see on other cards.
