Here is a listing of a complete set from EBAY UK.

Here is a listing of one of the other cards that hit the pop report with the Tyson.
I think there is a very real chance this is from 1987. I would like to think when PSA, SGC, or BGS grades a card they do everything in their power to track the origin of the set.
This came from a board game released in the UK so I am sure someone out there recalls when it came out.

I have always thought this was an interesting card. Sometimes you just have some dumb luck and I bought my PSA raw for $2.99 and sent it in years ago just because it was a registry slot. This just sold for $250. It turns out this was a rare insert card in the sets so they aren't very plentiful.
Agreed, those are from the orange box Booster set. It's far less plentiful than the regular game cards. I got $50 for an off-grade raw lot of all the boxers from the main game and booster set.
There's nothing differentiating the game and booster sets, both have green backs, and there's a lot of overlap of the subjects. I'm working on getting scans uploaded to TCDB of both sets (they're separated there, unlike the PSA pop) so people can differentiate.
Can you elaborate on the orange box booster set?
I did some searches a long time ago looking for sealed boxes and don't recall what they looked like but definitely don't remember seeing them in orange boxes.
Here's the pics of the box the 'Celebrity' cards (those with pictures) came in: https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Packaging.cfm/sid/182635/1987-BBC-Question-of-Sport-UK-Booster
There's two other boxes as part of the Booster set that are trivia only, Blue/Team 1 & Red/Team 2. Those were pretty easy to find on eBay last time I looked, but there's nothing gradeable in those. I'm not sure if there was outer packaging for the three booster boxes. From the original game set, all 3 boxes were green like the back of the cards.
@LarkinCollector
Thank you for the explanation and info. My first instinct was they were similar to the cards but wasn't certain and now it makes sense.
It has been probably three or four years ago when the PSA 9 was auctioned off and it went for close to $250.
Any idea how much more limited the booster packs are? Raw examples don't pop up that much of this card and I would imagine the EBAY UK site is a better spot to look.
This is probably one of those examples where a BIN brings a much better price.
I would say the pop report is slightly exaggerated toward the Back View since it's rarer. Off the top of my head, 10:1, perhaps higher. I'm sure most UK sellers are aware of the scarcity at this point as the few I've seen have had a hefty price tag. There was one recently who must have had 4-5 booster sets broken up and being sold by sport, other than that I haven't seen any stashes uncovered in the past year or two.
Quite detailed grading, and I think it is correct. Mike Tyson is doing wonders.

Hi I have a sealed pack of The Question of Sport Booster Pack Celebrity cards (orange box) which I believe holds the Mike Tyson Rookie Back of the Head card. Would it be wise to break the seal and sell this card individually or would the pack be more valuable sealed?
What's your tolerance for gambling? If the Tyson is of PSA 9 or 10 quality, you would likely do much better opening. 8 is likely break even, 7 or lower and you lose.
If you decide to open, I'd be interested in the golfers.
