I'm looking for the 1938 NX5 American Sweets boxing cards. I am willing to pay top prices for them. Yeah ... yeah ... I know there are only a handful of them out there, but hey, I gotta' try, right?
![]() Please send me a PM if you think you can help. Thanks ![]() Picture is for display purposes only. I don't own any of these cards. |

Man those are some beautiful cards great colors. Were they sold initially in strips? Good luck with your searching....

Hi Rocky!
They're hand-cut, but I am not sure if this was done in the factory or by a collector at a later date. Also, the Leonard card (owned by Adam) is the only one to receive a numerical grade from SGC, I believe. Does this mean that this one was not hand-cut? It's all very confusing! ![]() ![]() By the way, there are wrestlers in this set as well. If you look at the image I posted above, you will see Jim Londos on the top. I also found this image online of Man Mountain Dean:

I had never seen the Man Mountain Dean card before. That thing is awesome.

Here is the Joe Gans card that was sold by PWCC a year ago. I usually wear the same kind of outfit whenever someone challenges me to a fight. The guy will usually take one good look at me and say "okay, you win."

The more I study these cards, the more confused I get!
![]() This is Tony Canzoneri and that nasty top edge is something frequently seen on American strip cards. Here is another: ![]() If you look at this Mickey Walker card, you'll see that it suffers from the same problem. Hmmmm ... oh wait! ![]() Huh? A freaking wrapper! So, now they can't be strip cards, right? |

![]() And here we have the Benny Leonard card. This is the only card to receive a numerical grade, I believe. Where did the bottom border go?

I present to you, ladies and gents, the best card in this set and the only one known in existence ... the Brown Bomber, JOEEEEEEE LOUIS!
![]() This example has all four borders, which is great, and the yellow background was a perfect choice. I don't think this card would have looked as nice if a different color had been chosen. I'm still looking to buy! |
