Upper Deck Goodwin Champions made some really cool cards of Jack Johnson in 2019, let's take a look at them. This is one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen, 2019 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions - Horizontal Turquoise - Jack Johnson.
2024 Historic Autographs -YesterYear - Design 3 - Jack Johnson. I love Historic Autographs cards, they always pack a lot into their sets and it's just a really fun experience.
2010 Ringside Boxing - Turkey Red - Jack Johnson. These cards are really cool, the artwork is just beautiful and this card is actually signed by the artist for this series.
I guess that's about it for the Jack Johnson cards, there are a few I couldn't find the photos to match up with the card so I'm disgusted about it and I'm just going to leave them out. I really enjoy this stuff, the boxing card hobby is so much fun and you rarely get a chance to see the photos that were used for the images we see on some of these famous and legendary cards. I don't know if anyone has ever tried to showcase the photos that were used for these cards but that's what I'm attempting to do here, a kind of museum, it's just really fascinating and cool to see. I short-changed a few fighters, when I first started this little project I was only going to do my favorite cards, but my OCD took over and now I'm going to try to do them all, so I'll have to come back around and get some of the cards I left out at the beginning.
It's a shame that Rocco Tozzo, aka Rocky Kansas, doesn't have a lot of cards, and what he does have is very rare, and the photos that match up with the cards just aren't available. He's one of my favorites, all-time great lightweight, world lightweight champion 1925-26, and I love his aggressive, "go for broke" fighting style. This is one of his cards, the 1925-31 Four-on-One Exhibits Postcards Heinie Groh / Stanley Harris / Jack Dempsey / Rocky Kansas.
Check this out, this is fascinating, this is Shanidar Cave, Shanidar Cave is a famous archaeological site in the Zagros Mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan. Unearthed in the 1950s, it yielded the remains of ten Neanderthals dating from 35,000 to 65,000 years ago. The site revolutionized our understanding of early hominids by revealing evidence of community care, survival of severe injuries, and potential burial practices.
Check out this view from the inside of Shanidar Cave. It's absolutely fascinating to think that our ancestors, early humans, lived inside this cave some 35,000-65,000 years ago, ancient Earth is so fascinating.
Ten separate Neanderthal skeletons that may date back over 50,000 years were found in Shanidar Cave. The remains were first discovered in the mid-1950’s by a team of archaeologists from Columbia University led by Ralph Solecki. The first nine skeletons were excavated between 1957 and 1961. The tenth skeleton was discovered in 2006 when an archeologist discovered several bones from the collection that did not match the others. The Shanidar Cave was not the first location of Neanderthal skeleton discovery, but it was the first that shed light on the burial practices and causes of death among Neanderthals. The most interesting of all the skeletons, referred to as Shanidar 1, was carefully excavated and diligently studied because of the damage to his skull and deformities on his leg and arm. It was discovered that the Neanderthal was between the ages 40-50 at the time of his death. The damage to his skull, leg and arm were discovered to have partially healed and were concluded to not have played a role in Shanidar 1’s death. Archeologists believe that Shanidar 1 was taken care of by the other Neanderthals in his social group. It would have been very difficult for him to live long enough for his injuries to partially heal without help from others. At the time, this was a significant discovery, as it lessened the strongly-held belief that Neanderthals were solitary in nature. The Shanidar Cave is not only home to Neanderthal skeletons, but also to over 30 other “proto-Neolithic” skeletons that have been dated to roughly 10,000 years BC. One of these skeletons, Shanidar 3, is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Shanidar 3 traveled over 6,000 miles from Iraqi Kurdistan to Washington D.C. This is an archival photograph showing the archaeological excavation of Shanidar Cave, the arrows in the image document the location of several Neanderthal remains discovered during excavations led by Ralph Solecki between 1951 and 1960.
