Latest Pickups

[G1911]

Guess I lied, snuck one good one in before the clock strikes 12. Ketchell, actually Attell, completes my 22 card E75 set. The 2 error cards are pretty tough, was happy to see one come to market.

Broke my c. 1910 focus for this one. I don't know what version it is, there are apparently red mojo, red wave, red refractor, red etc. versions that I can't keep up with and tell the difference between in a picture. 1990 Pro Set Football is one of my favorite sets of all time (great photography, I like the design, so many variations, and so so cheap) and Fury is probably a true great. One of the problems with modern boxing is that most of the cards are rare and pretty ugly or low effort. There are so few well made ones to pick from. I tend to pick up the pugilists from Goodwin, Ginter, and random one-offs like this if they are cheap.

The back gives his record as 30-0-1 but then says that he beat Wilder 3 times. I'm not sure if this is an uncorrected error, or they are passive aggressively acknowledging the obvious instead of a judge's BS

I'm sure I'm not the only one making pick ups. Show 'em folks!

2 French Mags from 1910 featuring Sam Langford and Tom Sharkey on the covers.

Also: a 1955 Swedish non-sports related comic book featuring a great 3 card panel on the back, with Rocky Marciano book-ended by John L. and Corbett.
