1947-66 Exhibits Jersey Joe Walcott Front Facing Variation 🥊 Scarce
There are three acknowledged variations of this popular boxing card, one with Joe facing slightly to his right, one with his nickname "Slug", and this one (front facing).
I've looked for this variation for years and this is the only one I've ever seen for sale.
Jersey Joe Walcott was a crafty heavyweight known for his slick footwork, elusive defense, and deceptive punching angles, earning him the nickname “The Camden Buzzsaw.” After years of setbacks, he captured the world heavyweight title in 1951 at age 37, becoming the oldest man at the time to win the crown. Walcott’s remarkable career is remembered for his perseverance, skill, and memorable battles against legends like Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, and Ezzard Charles.

He bridged boxing’s brutal early era with its modern, regulated form, bringing unprecedented popularity and legitimacy to the sport. His charisma and knockout power made him America’s first great sports hero.

1910 T220 Champions Tommy Burns 🥊🏒
On the eve of the start of the 2025-26 NHL season, my mind wanders to crossover athletes who were World Boxing Champions and also hockey players.
Boxing and hockey both prize toughness and hand skills, but it’s rare to find someone who competed seriously in both.
That's where Tommy Burns steps into focus.
Tommy Burns, born in Canada, became the World Heavyweight boxing Champion from 1906 to 1908.
His is the first and only Canadian-born to hold that title. Though small for a heavyweight at just 5'7" and around 175 pounds, he relied on speed, skill, and tenacity to defeat much larger opponents. Burns made history by defending his title around the world.
Before his boxing fame, Burns was a skilled hockey player in Ontario, known for his quick skating and physical toughness, traits that translated directly into his boxing success.
