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

Love to see T220’s for any reason. Good luck on your set chase

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.

That's the problem: you see examples of the artwork and you just get hooked on all of the issues.

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.

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.

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

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" |

Dave, thanks for looking. I would agree, looks like they are definitely 1932. It appears they were supposed to go in an album. The checklist that I found online was hand written and appears to have mostly Swedish boxers along with Dempsey and Carnera.

Dave beat me to it on the Swedish cards.
Chad, love the 3 Toneles. I find that series of cards to be an interesting insight into the ebb and flow of Cuban society at the time. First the capitalists tried to pretend they were sympathetic (the earliest premium has "pro agrarian reform" on it), then there was a statis period as shown on your card, then as the Commies tightened the grip and killed professional sports, athletes like Fernandez fled if they could.

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.

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

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.

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! |
