Nothing as cool as a Marciano card, but Marvin Hart was a Heavyweight Champion too (sort of). Cards 121, 122 and 123 in my set, 2 away from the 50% marker. Getting close to the time to put more serious effort into it soon.
The lack of a Johnson makes this set pretty cheap, but the roster is star-studded. Jack Sullivan was one of many claimants to the American middleweight title and fought several prominent heavyweights that were much larger. Papke held the world title for a time. Hart was proclaimed the world champion after Jeffries retired. Most of the guys in the set are in this tier, stars in their day, obscure and cheap now.

I received my Joe Louis United Tobacco back from PSA. Not a high grade but I'm ok with that. I sent in a Sonny Liston Swedish Rekord RC last week, so I'll probably have that back in about 3 months or so. I don't really collect boxing, but I have acquired a few over the years. Maybe it's because I don't engage much with boxing cards, but I've always thought they are pretty affordable.

Here is another of my boxing cards I picked and had graded because I thought it was such great condition. This one I sent to SGC.

My kind of condition, a 1/1.5 type card but with the image pretty clean and the registration 99% right. Pretty much all T227 Johnson's are off a smidgeon at the bottom if you look closely, I don't think I've ever seen a perfect one. This is the Miner's Extra back, I have an Honest Long cut in a bit worse shape. The Miners is tougher but doesn't sell much higher. I only need Frank Klaus to complete the boxing Miners Extra subset.

 Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try and get PSA to fix the myriad wrong information in its systems in regard to boxing cards.

Of course, probably can't afford it till after the move.

Pretty happy to add these to my humble little collection. I started picking up Red Suns about a year ago, and am up to 28 different cards now. I still don't think I will ever complete it due to the Johnson that probably isn't worth to me what it is to someone else, but I will be satisfied with as many as I can put together here. The back designs are great, and that most of the cards are photo repeats of the T218 issue that is my pet set makes it a fun complement. The misspelling of the series name bugs me just a little bit, but it's probably good they didn't fix it and give me another 50 variations to chase.
Some were interesting, and one is a benefit of cracking out. The Jimmy Walsh card does not appear to have the layer of gloss that even beater Red Suns have. Upon close examination under magnification, I can find no trace of it at all, which is a first. Not sure if this card missed the layer during production or was printed on different glossless stock, or it has lost it all to time. I don't much care about condition, but I do mark in my collection spreadsheets cards I believe to be altered, in case I ever end up with a dupe and then have one for trade. I am not a fan of the graders, but usually find that while they miss tons of alterations, those they mark as A almost always are. I'm confused on these though. The Loughrey and Nelson both have a piece of scotch tape on the back to strengthen the crease, but the Loughrey is oversized and I can find no evidence of trimming on close examination of either card, or recoloring (which I am by no means on expert on). Does SGC consider this scotch tape an alteration? Perhaps it's a me thing and I've just always considered tape a "1" grade, but not altered/authentic. Finally, there is a big "13" stamp on the back of the Wolgast that looks really, really familiar and I am sure I have seen before. I don't recall seeing Richard Merkin before, but I like his taste. If anyone wants to buy the slips at 10% of the card price, DM me  . More seriously, I messed up my list and now have a duplicate Eddie Walsh, so I'm not cracking him out. If the underbidder happens to be a member and still wants it, slide into my DM's.
