Fight Beat magazine cards
While researching the secret "gamblers exhibition" between Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson that allegedly took place in Saskatoon, Canada, on Dec. 10, 1921, I came across the inaugural issue of Lew Eskin's FIGHT BEAT magazine. The mag not only contains Eskin's take on the alleged bout, but the cover advertises "four collectible boxing cards" inside. Does anyone have a sample of these cards, or the identity of the fighters depicted? Thanks!

The backs are the back cover of the magazine, which was an advertisement.
PSA is slow to embrace newly cataloged boxing issues. I've even had trouble getting them to grade well known issues until they appear in my book and PSA buys an updated version. I had one run-in with them where they claimed an issue wasn't cataloged, which was true since they were using a catalog that was several years old!

December 1983 (1st issue):
 1 Mancini 2 Rosario 3 Moore 4 King These are the only ones that are numbered. Far as I can tell, it is a Mancini RC and Rosario's RC. And King's if anyone cares...
