Nice pick. Red Suns are tough, but not truly rare. They’re available with patience. If I had to guess there’s probably a bit less than 50 of each of the white guys around. The same ones seem to keep rotating, entering the market over and over every couple of years. The grading rate for this issue appears, from my subjective experience, to be abnormally high for a boxing issue.

Surprised to win this; Greg Morris had it listed at Vg-VGEX even though it has at least 16 different creases and when he overgrades people usually pay up. Thankfully they didn't and so I got it at a fair price. It is hard to beat the N43's for aesthetic value. Frank Murphy's only other cards are his rare N332 SF Hess and the small size version of this set, N29. Ike Weir claimed the Featherweight title after fighting Murphy to a draw over 80 rounds that both men severely wounded.

N43’s are beautiful cards and I think tougher than people realize compared to the smaller A&G issues. Not a lot of star power (at least on the boxing side), so they tend to be overlooked.

Don't tell people how much tougher they are . All of the 20 cigarette Ginters are just gorgeous expansions of the 10 pack cards. I'm thinking about putting together one of the bird sets or something that will be much lighter on the wallet than sets with baseball players or Indian chiefs.

Happy to have been offered this batch of Dixie's for my set. Dixie Queens are pretty tough, and with the evidence that has emerged the last few years I am no longer sure they should really be categorized as a different set from T220. 29/50 down, I have to do them now that I have the T220 master.

Thanks Greg. Good to get the viewpoint of an experienced boxing collector as I have little to no experience with Red Suns to date. Was just thrilled to get this one though. I really want the Attell of course. Someday, right?

Someday! If it helps the search and value, I paid $250 for a PSA 1 Attell in May of this year. He carries a deserved premium but thankfully it's not too big. It's nice there is a T card using the real photo that was the basis for his T9, T218, T219, T225, C52 etc. Love these Red Suns.
