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?

Thank you to Adam for these. I generally don't collect the N cards because the boxing N cards are either
1) Not realistically possible to complete a set because they are so scarce or 2) The set has baseball players in it which means completing the set costs $$$$$$ and I'm a cheapass. I've gotten better at accepting I just won't complete some sets and enjoy having an incomplete set. I may pick up the non-baseball's, but I'm not willing to pay the price for Anson/Kelly etc. Thanks to Adam, I just got the boxing subset in one go without having to decide to chase them all down. Thanks Adam. The Mitchell is much nicer than I thought it was looking at the pictures, the colors really pop on the lithographic cards when they aren't toned as most of them are, even in higher grades. Jem Smith is my favorite of the N162's. Of course, I believe I still need to get the variations. Mitchell and Dempsey have the lithographer line at back bottom, Sullivan and Smith do not (Kilrain has paper loss obscuring his). I don't know which back type is tougher and am not knowledgeable about this issue. I believe all 50 cards come both ways, but this may be wrong.

My pleasure. That subset took a rather convoluted route to get to you. Some jackass won the set at auction from me, reneged, got thrown off eBay, re-registered the next week, won it again AND RENEGED AGAIN! Rather than relist and let that guy get another crack at it, I sold it privately.

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.

Nice pickup. I haven't seen those before either. I wonder if anyone knows what the item is that this was cut from? Obviously it looks like part of the box top pictured. Maybe it's from a store display.

It is cut from one of the ad panels for the set. Adam has one with different cards. He has posted it before.https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=301657 Post #33

None of the TPGs actually knew what they were, so they made it up. Not a unique thing for them. PSA's Latin American sets are a blizzard of gibberish and made-up names.
And as long as we're at it and I can trot this out again:   That's my version of a Marciano RC...
