Default Let’s see some boxing postcards!

I’m selfishly wanting to know more about some of the postcards in my collection. I’ve tried online searches and have come up empty on most of my questions, so I thought I’d see what I could find by starting a thread on here. The same images appear on many different issues and even more confusing is some issues appear to possibly have been released in different years. Most of the differences are very subtle, but as collectors we seem to search out the anomaly’s in what we collect. In the end, this just gives us an excuse to post some scans of our postcards.😂

Default Beagles postcards?

I’ve long considered these to be Beagles postcards, but That was just an assumption. The other question is from the scans you can see the backs are a bit different. One states it was printed in Britain in the upper left and the other states printed in England in the upper right, but the front image and notations appear to be exactly the same.

Default Same image

When I first started collecting I would only purchase non used postcards, but after a few years I started adding ones that were used ,as well. This is the same pose with “World Champion Prize Fighter” on the front. The part I now love about used post cards is that you have a good idea of when they were released. This one is postmarked from Cuba in December 1920, which may put it as being earlier then the above postcards.

Default Beagles post cards

These are certainly from the Beagles series, but I’ve also wondered if the ungraded card on the right is from a later release. The cards appear to have identical notations, but the ungraded card has a lot less toning and is at least an eighth of an inch taller.

Default More Beagles

The Beagles series is probably one of my favorites. Some of the images are really remarkable. I only wish they were more readily available. The Johnson ones seem to appear more than any other, though.The Johnson Willard image isn’t great, but it’s the only one I’ve seen.

As a master set dude, I don't have many postcards and can't contribute many, but there are a ton of gorgeous RPPC's out there from the 1910 period I like most. Here's some Jim Jeffries. The one on left has a red overprint effect of another Jeffries pose in the set.

I've got an entire page of boxing postcards:

https://imageevent.com/exhibitman/boxingpostcards

Some good info there, some dumb mistakes too.

Greg, here's the master set of the Benham Indian PCs of Jeffries:



My personal favorite is the one on the farm here in Burbank:



Here's a cabinet photo of Jeff on the farm from his personal collection:



This is the earliest boxing PC I have:



My only JJ PC:



I do like 'em postally used. Not only does it keep prices down due to condition , I love the sense of history and provenance.

A few French hand-tinted ones from the HB series:



Alfred Noyer published a lot under his "AN" mark. including this one of Dempsey and Tom Mix on the lot at Universal:



Here is the studio photo he used:



Bit o trivia: the building there was later used as the Bates Motel.

I just noticed the red 'ghost' on my Jeffries is a reversed image of the 'ready' pose, card #2 in your layout of the 1907 PC's, not the image oriented properly.
