No card will ever capture this much violence, ever.

Since we were talking about Tunney, I thought some my like to read the back of his Goudey Sport Kings card.

Thanks! I'm casually working on this set as inexpensive examples come my way. I'm really not even a boxing fan per se, but the artwork is stellar.

That's how I started. I was gifted a lot of random T cards and I liked a lot of the history themed cards in it. There were 7 T220 silvers in it, and I thought they were kind of funky at first. Who wants to collect cards of scantily clad dudes? And now I'm a boxing guy. I collect T42's and know no ornithology. The T card art is just so good, it doesn't matter what the subject is, I've come to collect pretty much all of them.

I haven’t posted here in awhile, but I’m currently going through some recent purchases. I’m pretty fond of this Toneles card, even though the condition is a bit ruff.

[wicker56]

Here’s a couple more recent additions that I’m hoping someone has additional info on. I bought a few of these off of Ebay, but I can’t seem to find much info about them.

[G1911]

I can’t help and don’t recognize these, but that Carnera is really cool.

[wicker56]

Thanks, Greg. The stock used is pretty thin, but almost layered and the image is really strange. I would consider them very delicate.

Maybe I'm weird but I always like 'cards with photos that are very uncard-like'. There's so many boxing cards that come up that I've just never seen before still. It doesn't happen much with baseball or football; the percentage of boxing cards that there are few copies of out there is so much higher

According to a few unrelated listings on Ebay, it's a c. 1932 set out of Sweden.

Google translate identifies the set name as "Sport Magazine Picture Gallery"

Another recent pick up that’s not actually a card, but a coupon for the Turkey Red series. I’m interested in opinions on how common these are. I’ve not come across many.

[G1911]

I’ve seen a number of them but I sure wouldn’t classify them as easy. I believe the 1-76 is more common than the 1-75 version. There’s also a Fez one that’s smaller. I’ve never picked any of them up, but they’re cool. Would go well with a pack and the cards

[wicker56]

Greg, I’m glad you mentioned the size. I was originally thinking this was in a normal 3 X 4 top loader, but your correct, it’s actually larger.

[G1911]

I was surprised when I first saw one in person, I always thought they were really small for some reason.

There's a 1-75 and 1-76 on eBay, and a Fez 1-75 (I assume these 3 BIN's are all excessive). http://t3turkeyred.com/Packaging.html has an image of an Old Mill 1-75 and a 77-126 in the same smaller size as the Fez.

Cool spate of pickups you're on!
