Vintage Boxing cards Checklist & Values
Like baseball cards, boxing cards have been produced in this country
since the 1880's. First in tobacco products, later in gum and candy.
Unlike baseball cards, boxing cards have been produced in many countries
around the world.
In 1910 Mecca and Hassan tobacco companies put out colorful boxing sets
with names like: Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries, John L. Sullivan & Jim Corbett.
In 1951 Topps joined in with a fairly large card set they called "Ringside".

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
