Thanks for the comments!

This Ringside set is one I had saved from my boyhood but never completed. After all these yrs I finally decided last yr or so to finish it off!

While I have gradually let loose of alot of my original cards the last few yrs from the late '40's--early '50's, I never wanted to let the Ringside set go.

Of all my baseball & football & nonsport cards from that era (and I have MANY!), the '51 Ringside was one of my absolute favorites!

It brings back special memories as an 11yr old sitting in front of the TV & watching many of these fighters on the old Pabst Blue Ribbon Wed nite fights & the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports fights on Fri nites.

I used to have a scorebook put out by PBR that they gave out to bars & taverns to score the fights, and it was full of fights I watched & scored as a kid featuring a bunch of the fighters in the Ringside set!

How I wish I could find that booklet today, but alas, unlike my old cards, it got away from me!

Thanks for letting me prattle on!
