hey gang. Just sharing a card I'd had my eye on for a while, the 1887 N184 Jack Dempsey RC. I overpaid a bit, but I liked the color too much to pass it up. Still looking for a better example..
Those are really tough to find over a PSA 3, I am still looking to improve on my Muldoon that is a PSA 3. I have been able to secure a few of the wrestlers in a PSA 6 but it is super tough. Congrats on your card!

Awesome pick-up, Jason! I love (the other) Dempsey! He's a highly underrated HOF boxer, in my opinion. And as King mentioned - Kimballs are a bear to find in decent shape - and yours looks to be very solid.

Very Nice card One question, could be the way its scanned but it looks like the centering bars in the center of the PSA Holder are pinching the edges of the card ? Did PSA put it in a holder thats to small ? Just curious since I one day hope to have some of these and would be reluctant to send in a high grade example if they were being put in holders that pinch the card.
Also found this nice web page with a lot of information about both Dempsey's (there were two for those who may not be aware)

Jack Dempsey "The Manassa Mauler" Cards
A selection of cards featuring "The Manassa Mauler". I've also included a few "game" cards just for the fun of it. Also keep in mind that there are many more cards avaiable if "variations" to each set are taken into account (eg back variations, some cards had large and small versions of the same set, etc).
There are also various cards featuring the fights between Jack Demspey and Gene Tunney. Unfortunately for Dempsey fans, he lost both fights to Tunney, and as such is usually portrayed either on the canvas, or the image of his back on these cards. I have therefore included these cards within a seperate table.

I remember I caught a listing on ebay a while back for 12 of those N184 cards with a BIN for $100. I pounced, submitted them to PSA, and crossed my fingers. All came back real, including two baseball players and a few boxers (one of them the Dempsey).
I also remember when I first started collecting Mauler Dempsey cards I had to go in to the PSA player registry and clean it all out of Nonpareil cards. They had actually combined the two fighters cards into one set. Ah, the good 'ol days.
I used to have a N174 (-3 or -4, I think) Nonpareil but I traded it for a couple of difficult Mauler cards.
And that boxingcarddigest website is pure rubbish.
<< <i> And that boxingcarddigest website is pure rubbish. >>
Are you talking about the entire site or just the Dempsey page ? I did not look over the rest of the site only the page I linked to. If you are talking about the Dempsey page I would be interested in what is incorrect, Not defending the page just need to know what I should disregard. Thanks in advance
Smokey, the owner of that site is a very good friend of mine. I'm just giving him a hard time, as he would undoubtedly give me. The site is a good resource, although me thinks he's been asleep at the wheel for a little while now. It's been quite a long time since it was updated.
But if you ever had any questions I'm sure he would be very happy to help if he could. Just shoot him an email, his name is Dave.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
great stuff guys. My only notes of value are that PSA is pretty definitive on at least some of the N184's being from 1887 (I checked with them), and oldmanvintagecards has compiled a very strong case for the Underwood and Underwood being from 1919. Are they the final word? Probably not, but hopefully it will help.
Great that you ventured back to 1887!!!! I am glad that I did a long time ago as well.

<< <i>I just picked this up. It's my oldest card and first card I got from the 1800s. There is paper loss on the front but not bad for something from 1887.
So I like the Cartledge set and have been building a few for some time. I have one in a box to send out but had an opportunity to purchase an already graded set. Came in the mail yesterday. It completed two of my sets and moved me to #2 All Time Finest ... Not to shabby for the little guy to pass RAS. Always looking for the 2 alternate cards from this set if any of you have some spares.
I actually "sold" the 1977 Bimbo yesterday for a generous offer; won't count my chickens until they've been deposited in my paypal acct. though, so at least for now it is still mine
Not a card, but here is a neat boxing piece I got lately. Has a full LOA from PSA/DNA as well. This becomes only the 2nd signed boxing photo in my collection. (the other is of me and Ali)
James “Gentleman Jim” Corbett was born Sept. 1, 1866 in San Francisco, CA and died Feb. 18, 1933 in Bayside, NY. Dubbed by the media as “Gentleman Jim,” he was college educated and, in addition to boxing, pursued a career in acting. He has been called the “Father of Modern Boxing” because of his scientific approach and innovations in technique that changed prize fighting from a brawl to an art form.
On September 7, 1892 at the Olympic Club in New Orleans, LA, Corbett won the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship by knocking out the famous John L. Sullivan in the 21st round.
His victory made him the 1st heavyweight boxer to win a championship under the Marquess of Queenberry Rules, which, amongst other things, established that a fight would consist of 3-minute rounds and required the fighters to wear leather boxing gloves.
Corbett lost his championship to Bob Fitzsimmons on March 17, 1897 in Carson City, Nevada.
Beautiful photo signed and inscribed of Corbett in a tuxedo is in exc. condition. Inscription reads:
“To my old pal, Frank Cooley with best wishes from His old friend, Jim Corbett, Mar. 2/’22”
Nice Dempsey. Either that card has registration issues or I've seen it before. That's the second time I've seen one of those with his body slightly off-center from the background.
<< <i>Nice Dempsey. Either that card has registration issues or I've seen it before. That's the second time I've seen one of those with his body slightly off-center from the background. >>
I may have shown in here before. But it's definitely got some interesting registration going on.
I know a seller in Spain had one with the same registration problems about a year and a half ago. It's a small world and I've only seen a dozen or so of these so perhaps it ended up with you.
Here's my copy of that card. It does not have that offset image focus problem that is on the SGC slabbed one, but also notice that the back side of mine does not have the ad in the lower section. RC & Nonperil, you guys seem to have the most experience with these. Do you know anything about how much variation there was in the lower ad, ether with ad or without, or, different types of ads?
It's not uncommon for Spanish cards from that era to have multiple companies push their name on the backs of products. It wouldn't surprise me to find a couple of different companies advertised there.
Here's another 1920s Spanish set. I've found three different backs for this one so far.

What he said. In collecting both boxing and soccer cards (specifically ones from Spain) I too have noticed what RC has illustrated above. If you are familiar with vintage cards, I equate collecting Spanish chocolate cards with collecting a set like T206; cards have the same front with many different advertising backs. I haven't really taken the time to figure out which advertisements are more rare, but it would make a fun project. I will have to put it on my "to-do" list.

My Latest Pick-up. Nothing of great value (My cost 9.00 shipped) but thought it was kind of cool Considering there are 3 boxers showing George Foreman (Font), Joe Frazier (Back) & Floyd Patterson (Back)

Hmm, maybe I'll try to find time to email the others on the set registry and ask them about what the backs of theirs look like...
Good comparison w/ T206. T206 has all the ad backs specified on the flip; I wonder if they should look into doing similar w/ the Spanish cards.
I've seen a little bit of variance w/ some prewar Swedish issue cards too, but not nearly as much as with the Spanish ones.

Did PSA put it in a holder thats to small ? Just curious since I one day hope to have some of these and would be reluctant to send in a high grade example if they
were being put in holders that pinch the card.

I also remember when I first started collecting Mauler Dempsey cards I had to go in to the PSA player registry and clean it all out of Nonpareil cards. They had actually combined the two fighters cards into one set. Ah, the good 'ol days.
I used to have a N174 (-3 or -4, I think) Nonpareil but I traded it for a couple of difficult Mauler cards.
And that boxingcarddigest website is pure rubbish.

Are you talking about the entire site or just the Dempsey page ? I did not look over the rest of the site
only the page I linked to. If you are talking about the Dempsey page I would be interested in what is
incorrect, Not defending the page just need to know what I should disregard. Thanks in advance
But if you ever had any questions I'm sure he would be very happy to help if he could. Just shoot him an email, his name is Dave.
<< <i>Smokey, the owner of that site is a very good friend of mine. I'm just giving him a hard time, as he would undoubtedly give me. The site is a good resource, although me thinks he's been asleep at the wheel for a little while now. It's been quite a long time since it was updated.

When he is sober, he is a tremendous help. Otherwise, forget it.
Looks nicer than the grade of 2, but a couple of light creases and the back staining kept it where it is....

<< <i>I just picked this up. It's my oldest card and first card I got from the 1800s. There is paper loss on the front but not bad for something from 1887.
Great card, Chad! That A&G set is a classic.

James “Gentleman Jim” Corbett was born Sept. 1, 1866 in San Francisco, CA and died Feb. 18, 1933 in Bayside, NY.
Dubbed by the media as “Gentleman Jim,” he was college educated and, in addition to boxing, pursued a career in acting. He has been called the “Father of Modern Boxing” because of his scientific approach and innovations in technique that changed prize fighting from a brawl to an art form.
On September 7, 1892 at the Olympic Club in New Orleans, LA, Corbett won the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship by knocking out the famous John L. Sullivan in the 21st round.
His victory made him the 1st heavyweight boxer to win a championship under the Marquess of Queenberry Rules, which, amongst other things, established that a fight would consist of 3-minute rounds and required the fighters to wear leather boxing gloves.
Corbett lost his championship to Bob Fitzsimmons on March 17, 1897 in Carson City, Nevada.
Beautiful photo signed and inscribed of Corbett in a tuxedo is in exc. condition. Inscription reads:
“To my old pal, Frank Cooley with best wishes from His old friend, Jim Corbett, Mar. 2/’22”

<< <i>Nice Dempsey. Either that card has registration issues or I've seen it before. That's the second time I've seen one of those with his body slightly off-center from the background. >>
I may have shown in here before. But it's definitely got some interesting registration going on.

Here's another 1920s Spanish set. I've found three different backs for this one so far.
<< <i>It's not uncommon for Spanish cards from that era to have multiple companies push their name on the backs of products. It wouldn't surprise me to find a couple of different companies advertised there.

What he said. In collecting both boxing and soccer cards (specifically ones from Spain) I too have noticed what RC has illustrated above. If you are familiar with vintage cards, I equate collecting Spanish chocolate cards with collecting a set like T206; cards have the same front with many different advertising backs. I haven't really taken the time to figure out which advertisements are more rare, but it would make a fun project. I will have to put it on my "to-do" list.
Considering there are 3 boxers showing
George Foreman (Font), Joe Frazier (Back) & Floyd Patterson (Back)

Hmm, maybe I'll try to find time to email the others on the set registry and ask them about what the backs of theirs look like...
Good comparison w/ T206. T206 has all the ad backs specified on the flip; I wonder if they should look into doing similar w/ the Spanish cards.
I've seen a little bit of variance w/ some prewar Swedish issue cards too, but not nearly as much as with the Spanish ones.
