First, the album cover card of Joe Louis states that he's the World Champ (1937), Second, the inside bio write up for him says he's defended his title 19 times. After that it's just a simple boxrec check.

Here's the card that is attached to the cover of the UTC album.

I'd scan the inside bio for Louis but the cover of my album is tearing. Every time I open it it rips a little bit more. You're just going to have to take my word for it.

Also, Jack Sharkey has a Greiling issue. Depending on what you believe the release date is for those that could be either 1926 or 1927. Alan knows more about that set than I so I'll let him chime in.

Makes sense to me, and noted. That puts the John Henry Lewis RC at 1938 as well then (churchman, FCC), unless he has an issue before that?
and to confirm, this danish issue is also from 1941? '1935' Lewis edit because i see that your book is obviously danish as well.. Last edited by miklia; 03-24-2012 at 01:23 AM.

That's the UTC (a South African issue, not Danish; same as the album I posted above). But don't get me started on that card.
I don't know if you're factoring in desireability but for Louis and Braddock it should almost certainly be the 1935 Patt. "Sporting Celebrities" set, not the "Sporting Events and Stars."

What determination are you using for the fighters you're including on the list? Seems somewhat arbitrary.

I wouldn't feel bad about it. They're both '35 issues and I, for one, am very happy with my Events & Stars card. But if we're making the grand daddy list the Sporting Celebrities is definitely the one to own. Still looking for mine.

I started with the Heavyweight champions list, and have been adding from there with 'key' cards and 'key' boxers with help. Any additional suggestions would be much appreciated, as I am the first to admit that my knowledge of 'golden age' boxing is weak. Want to try to cap this list at maybe 40-50 tops.

That's tough. I admire your effort as I wouldn't know where to begin either. Doing just 50 only opens the door for fighters that should/shouldn't be included. If we're going to do it I say we do all the IBHOF inductees, but I'm just someone that's making 12 posts instead of organizing my thoughts and creating one big one.
Smiley face.
