Grades popped - mostly vintage boxing and a lone Lou Gehrig (Scans Added)

I was really excited about the results of this sub. I was hoping for a PSA 2 on the Lou Gehrig, but I'm honestly just happy to own the card. Other notables - are the PSA 6 Jack Johnson rookie card, PSA 7 1908 John L. Sullivan and the Pop 1 Felix Potin Jack Dempsey in a PSA 7.

EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1909 OGDEN'S LTD. PUGILISTS & WRESTLERS 55 JACK JOHNSON Card
NEAR MINT 7 1908 OGDEN'S LTD. PUGILISTS & WRESTLERS 13 JOHN L. SULLIVAN Card
EXCELLENT 5 1908 OGDEN'S LTD. PUGILISTS & WRESTLERS 13 JOHN L. SULLIVAN Card
VERY GOOD 3 1910 E75 AMERICAN CARAMEL BLACK BACK JACK JOHNSON Card
EXCELLENT 5 1910 T220 CHAMPIONS JOHN L. SULLIVAN Card
POOR 1 1946 PROPAGANDAS MONTIEL LOS REYES DEL DEPORTE 57 LOU GEHRIG Card (this is an incredibly tough card)
NEAR MINT 7 1922 COLLECTION FELIX POTIN CELEBRITIES-3rd SERIES JACK DEMPSEY Card (Pop 1, none higher!)
GOOD 2 1922 COLLECTION FELIX POTIN CELEBRITIES-3rd SERIES JACK JOHNSON Card (Pop 2, one higher)

Thanks for letting me share.

That says it all right there Jeff. Congrats on a sweet card!!! I'd like to see a scan of that one when you get it back.

Nice job on the boxing as well.

Thanks guys!

Mike - I will gladly scan it for ya when it arrives. I've been looking for excuses to fire up the new scanner.

Congrats Jeff ... make sure you share when you get them back.

I'd love to see the Gehrig as well. What's the story of that issue?

Thanks Doug!

<< I'd love to see the Gehrig as well. What's the story of that issue? >>

Here's a brief back story I found on the set: "These 2.1" by 3.1" Cuban cards are made of a thin paper stock, and are usually found pasted in a colorful album. These cards are made of a thin paper stock with a yellow or orange design border, and are frequently found slightly miscut. The set is made up of Boxers, Cuban Baseball Stars of the past and present, former Big League Greats, current Big Leaguers, a few Wrestlers, along with players from 5 teams of the Class B Florida International League. These cards like all other cards from Cuba are often found with insect holes and or humidity damage making nice examples tough to find. There are 180 numbered cards in the set with a few variations including one showing a portrait of Gabby Hartnett on a Bill Dickey card (#56), and the Babe Ruth card can be found with #41 or #4 on back."

Cool looking cards Jeff!!! Thanks for sharing. I expecially like that Gehrig card. Never seen that one before.

Big80s · February 25, 2012 1:54AM

Thanks Mike! It's not a card that comes around very often.

Elemenopeo · February 25, 2012 2:53AM
