The Gavilan (116) and Moore (121) would be only available in the small versions, while Marciano (54) would be in both versions. Here is what it would look like [sorry for the crappy scans]:



Who is Gavilan knocking the snot out of on the card?

Looks like Ralph Tiger Jones.

On the Archie Moore, hard to tell from the exposure, but I would guess Harold Johnson is the opponent.

The 48 Magic Photos seem relatively "easy" to find. The 56s were not easy but the 55s seem much harder. Any theories on why that would be ?

Default Kid Gavilan
AL,
I believe the boxing cards are much tougher than the baseball in the Hocus Focus sets. I have been looking for the boxers for 20 - 25 years. I've had 4 of the Marciano cards and 2 or 3 Archie Moore cards. It was on this board that I found out about the Gavilan card. It had been sold (to Adam?) before I asked about it. I'm interested if another shows up!! Thanks, Sam Majors

Al, David Hornish would be the person to ask.

Sam, my set may well end up in a LOTG auction some time in the not too distant future. Depends on which colleges my kid gets into.

That works on so many levels.

If you need a home for that Young Perez let me know.
