What Are Your Top Ten Favorite Boxing Cards

[boxingcarddigest]

Love those Pet's Brent.


My favourite 10 from my collection (Sorry for the scans, but I am going through a re-scanning phase after two crappy scanners!):

N162 Dempsey (probably my favourite card of all)


N174 Dempsey


N184 Sullivan


N28 Sullivan (which I have to upgrade)


N223 Sullivan - cool "hold to the light" card


N310 Jackson


Another card featuring the black prince.
Aussie Ogdens.


Great image on this 1920's Felix Potin card:


I have always loved this La Morena Schmeling card. The colours are crappy in this scan however:


I could post a few of my Stadium cards, but this one is probably my favourite with it's colours. 1914 card of Eddie McGoorty (before his Pat bradley fight)

I guess I'll add a few more of my favorites.

Great cards David(GasHouseGang). Especially the N184 Sullivan and the GQ Sullivan. Are they in your collection?

No, I wish they were! I've saved pictures of some cards I hope to get someday and these both fall into that group.

I'll add one more. I think this is pretty rare and is from England. It and a companion piece showed up on ebay several years ago. I was one of the underbidders. It was called a Stephengraph as you can see on the rear. The central image is on silk.

There are 4 boxer Stevengraphs: Sullivan, Kilrain, Charlie Mitchell and Jem Smith. Here are Kilrain and Smith:



The weaving on the silks is absolutely beautiful. Variations are known on the colors used in the colored parts of the silks.

There are also back variations.
