 It's a pretty good likeness:  It is the only piece of memorabilia I have on display in the living room that doesn't annoy my wife.

The one on the right is new. There are several Sullivan's and Corbett's in this series, with both of them termed the "Champion of the World". It is a presumably from sometime between 1892 and 1897, probably the early part of that range. Not sure how many make a full set or who made this unmarked series, but they are fairly common and cheap by Sullivan cabinet standards.
A previous owner pencilled the outlines of his career and life up to Sullivan's death on the back.

I don't even know what I just bought. It was on eBay as a "Cabinet Card", but it is not a cabinet card as it is not a mounted photo, or in the standard cabinet size. It is just printed onto the stock like a postcard. I've never heard the term "vivi-photo" that is stamped I the bottom left before. My search didn't turn up much about this, or the address listed on the card.
I'm not even sure it's even 1910 period, but Cooley was a decent boxer and a tragic life who has few cards, so if I bought some later image or fake, it's fine and will display nice all the same. It was pretty cheap.

I tink the Fred Cooley photo is authentic to the period (circa 1910).
Produced by Hennegan & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Here are a few postcards for sale produced by the same company around the same time period. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Sea...pnav-_-Results

can anyone ID this guy?
 I thought this blotter was fun:  Am I reading too much into it or do these illustrations actually resemble the pair?

I'm slowly working on a second set 1955 Parkhurst Wrestling. With a little extra coin I had in my pocket picked up this Bronko Nagurski $33.65 delivered after Canada shipping and US taxes. About as cheap as you're gonna find one?

1951 Topps Ringside Boxing with Puzzle Back? Never heard of these, apparently hand cut from an advertisement piece similar to this wax box image I found on the internet. With Fathers Day eBay gift card in hand asking price was $99 OBO I offered $75 and picked up for $85 plus $6 shipping and $6.37 sales tax. Others are out there but still a pretty unique card.
