$110 and change for the lot, which seemed good to me. The Cartledge Sullivan I counted as a freebie. Johnson has the two small holes and indications of being in one of those old albums that have the paper holding pictures in over all four corners but the image looked nice. The Burns Postcard is a British series with other boxers, I believe. Not really building the Wills set but figure it will be tough to get a Johnson cheaper than this once I eventually get around to it.
Tommy Burns is still underrated in my book. Tiny compared to the heavyweights he fought against, and unlike many of the old champions he was very active about actually defending his crown. He was also the first to really defend his title all over the western world. But he was the loser of the Johnson fight and thus the narrative. |

They say that Abe Attell did some bad things, rigging baseball World Series games and boxing fights both. Personally, I think punching his brother on card picture day was a lot meaner
![]() Happy to cross off a C. 1910 American boxing card need; it's getting a lot less common these days to find stuff I need which is sad for my soul and good for my wallet. I really wish these cards didn't portray the fighters as makeup wearing feminine fighters; the rest of the art is pretty good. Monte was a world champion in his own right. |

They are good. They just didn’t wear women’s makeup in real life as Philadelphia Caramel depicted its subjects in several of their sets.

I found this 11 x 14 Baer rotogravure over the weekend and had to pick it up
![]() I've got a few of these type of prints now and they are pretty addictive. Too bad the print form is no longer practiced.
