There have been some strong prices in boxing and specifically this set recently. As much as I'd love to get to #2 or #1, its practically impossible considering the pop reports and who actually owns those sets. It has been a fun set to collect, but I want to shift gears and move into more sealed product and non-sports. Goldin, Heritage, Mile High, REA, PWCC?

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

What is the approximate value of the set?
Great set, I have always coveted the Brown Bomber card. I hope this one is yours!

Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
$27500-$40000. Alot depends on how the short prints and PWCC+ cards are valued at the time of sale.
I wish, that card is a white whale that I will never have the pleasure of harpooning.

Good luck with the sale. I hope you do very well and use the funds for something that means more to you than the set. Must have been a pleasure to build and to own.
Thank you. I started the set with a single Jimmy Flood card after my grandfather told me a story about the two getting into a school yard fight in New York. The set building took on a life of it's own and led me down a path of colorful history and intriguing personalities buried in the set. It will be missed.

Hello,
I decided to list the cards on the PWCC Vault. The numbers so far are as follows:
26 out of the 96 cards have sold via buy it now. This was pretty shocking as I was frankly concerned about the interest in vintage boxing, even a set such at this with amazing pedigree, rich history and hobby recognition.
I still have the heavy hitters up for sale, such as Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano.

I just bought the Flood. I have a 7, but I thought I could use the upgrade. I’m hoping to sell some stuff here soon so I can grab that Berlenbach from you as well
Appreciate the purchase. Let me know when you are ready to pull the trigger on the Berlenbach and I'll knock off a few bucks since you are a board member.

I've always liked this set. I did a raw almost complete set 20-25 years ago. I think I still have a couple of the cards somewhere. Good luck with your sales.
Awesome. Thank you
