IBHOF - Rookie Card Checklist (Official Thread)

I figured it would be a lot more fun if we all built this thing together. So, I am posting my IBHOF Rookie Card Checklist in unfinished form. Let's finish this thing together! If you have anything to add or subtract from this list, please feel free to post in the thread, and I will make sure to constantly update the list. (I've got a bunch more to add to this list myself!)

Please note: I have not included Exhibit cards on the checklist. I want to exhaust all "card" possibilities before having to resort to exhibits (simply because I believe that PSA won't grade them and it would be nice to one day start a set registry with this checklist). Also, players marked with an astericks have not been inducted into the IBHOF, but were members of the now defunct Ring Magazine Boxing Hall of Fame. Finally, this list contains only the boxers who have been inducted into the IBHOF (or the Ring Magazine Hall of Fame).

I'm sure I have made a few mistakes. If you can help fix this checklist, please don't hesitate!

Thanks, Alan.

    Dempsy has a 1922 champions card that I think is his rookie.

    Ali is tough. He has a few different hand cut cards from 1960-1964. His first traditional card is 1965 lampo which psa doesn't grade for some unknown ridiculous reason. His next card is 1966 panini that psa does slab. I think the mkt has decided that the lampo card is his rookie. This sells for 300-600 raw or in a low grade bgs. There are also different backs on the 66 panini. The valida back recently sold for about 1000 in a low grade.

    1986 Michael Spinks PSA 10


    Here are two from the list in the their top grade


  • Options
    Dempsey rookie is a tough call. I left it blank on the list to generate some conversation. He has a bunch of cards that could be considered to be in the running as his rookie card.
    He has a W529 strip card released c1920; a Romeo y julieta card also released c1920; a Felix Potin card released somewhere between 1920-1922; and I think he might have a W551 strip card which was released in 1921 (although I might be mistaken here). Now, if you bring 1922 into the equation, there are a couple of cards to consider (such as the aforementioned Sporting Champions card and the Comic Life card he shares with footballer Donald McKinlay—PSA will go as far as to grade just the Dempsey from this card, allowing submitters to cut the card in half. Blasphemy!). I think Dempsey might also have a Juncosa card which was also released c1920, but it, along with some of the other c1920 cards I mentioned, are so difficult to accurately date that, as the previous poster mentioned, the hobby almost considers the 1922 Sporting Champions card to be his rookie.



    I had always envisioned this checklist to be similar to the Old Cardboard HOF (baseball) Rookie Card Database in that it highlights the five earliest cards of a given Hall of Famer. Towards that end, it would probably be good if we listed a number of early cards for a particular member of the IBHOF.

    Thoughts?

    I still consider the 1922 Champions card to be the Dempsey rookie card, even though it's not technically his first release. But some people also consider Mantle's '51 Bowman to be his rookie card. Two different schools of thought.

    wow good work so far...

    I wish I could help with the older issues, I see many of these names are familiar but dont pay attention to the vintage Boxing cards like the Baseball issues.


    With PSA fixing their (lack of) counterfeit identification expertise, by not grading the item anymore, shows they sure need to hire someone who can tell the fakes from the authentic pieces. I am not a PSA fan and dont know that latest... but I also recall hearing they didnt grade football exhibits either??? No Boxing or Football??
  • Options
    The Hemmets Ali is an interesting contender for ali's rookie card, and certainly worth including as part of an "earliest card" checklist, no matter anyone's thoughts on what actually defines what a "card" might be. Does PSA still grade these? I know it's handcut, and that Ali is paired with another athlete, and that it was part of a journal cover/page, but I hope they will grade it. I've heard the ali and pele are often faked.

    If you want to go with more of a 'traditional' card and not a hand cut.

    1965 Lampo

    Taking out the Swedish magazine hand cut issues, the Ali Rookie is not the Lampo, but the 1964 MacRobertsons card from Australia.

    I'll do another Aussie in Les Darcy now. His "known" rookie card from an actual set would be from the 1922 Newcastle Boxers set (it's a memorial card). He also has a card in the 1922/23 Romeo Y Julieta set, but the actual date of production of this set is not known.

    image


    That being said, he had a few "cards" released during his career, which are known as stadium cards. THese postcard sized cards were released for big fights and distributed as a form of advertising.
    THey were from 1913/14, but probably aren't considered as part of a "set". A darcy example is shown at the top right.

    John L Sullivan - 1887 Allen & Ginters "World's Champions" (N28)
    Pedro Montinez - 1932 E Quintana
    Young Griffo - 1890 Mayo Prizefighters (N310) - a lot of the pioneers rookies would come form this set, and the N269 Lorillards. Would have to check through it all.

    As far as I am aware, the following boxers don't have any "career" cards (copied form a thread off another board).

    Old Timer
    Harry Harris
    Kid Norfolk
    Jack Root

    Modern
    Joe Brown
    Charley Burley
    Antonio Cervantes
    Jun-Koo Chang
    Curtis Cokes
    Pipino Cuevas
    Khaosai Galaxy
    Victor Galindez
    Humberto Gonzalez
    Ismael Laguna
    Danny Lopez
    Ricardo Lopez
    Mike McCallum
    Lloyd Marshall
    Carlos Palomino
    Eusabio Pedroza
    Sugar Ramos
    Luis Rodriguez
    Edwin Rosario
    Vicente Saldivar
    Salvador Sanchez
    Jose Torres
    Daniel Zaragosa

    In addition to what you already have,

    Joe Goss - 1887 N269 Lorillards "rookies"
    Jack Dempsey (He also has an Allen & Ginter's N28, and one of the N174's)
    Peter Jackson - 1889 SF Hess (N332)
    Bob Fitzsimmons - also has an Old Judge N174. It's the Australian version which was released in 1890.
    Jem Mace - was in the 1887 N269 Lorrilard set from memory which predates the SF Hess set.
    John C Heenan - another N269 Lorillard rookie


    I would have to check my N174 and N332 lists to make sure as there are a few boxers in those sets.


    Modern guys like Kostya Tszyu and Lennox Lewis have cards in the Browns boxing sets but I would have to check the
    years to confirm rookie cards.

    Jack McAuliffe - 1887 N167 Old Judge

    David, this is why you are the best. Excellent information, as always. Thanks! I will update the my initial post in this thread as soon as I can.

    re: Curtis Cokes, I think he has a Panini "card" that is career contemporary, but I might be wrong.
