    I have done some baseball card collecting off and on since I was a little kid and I figured I would post a thread about an awesome new set Topps baseball just came out with. Here is some info on the autographed boxing cards featured:


    NEW! BOXING AUTOGRAPHED CARDS
    QUAD-SIGNERS - Hard-hitting pugilists square-off on QUADRUPLE autographed cards!
    TRI-SIGNERS - These champs don’t pull any punches as they appear in various combinations on triple autographed cards.
    CO-SIGNERS - These cards pack a one-two combo as boxers appear side by side on 20 cards featuring 2 autographs each.
    SOLO SIGS - No palookas here as over 30 ring generals sign their cards.


    So far the checklist is sketchy on the autographs featured on the dual, triple, and quad autographed cards. But here is what I dug up on the auto's for now:

    Solo Signatures:

    SS-KP Kelly Pavlik
    SS-EM Edison Miranda
    SS-SB Shannon Briggs
    SS-SP Samuel Peter
    SS-JD Juan Diaz
    SS-JUD Julio Diaz
    SS-JC Joel Casamayor
    SS-CJ Chris John
    SS-SC Steve Cunningham
    SS-OB O'Neil Bell
    SS-DP Daniel Ponce de Leon
    SS-JM Juan Manuel Marquez
    SS-RM Rafael Marquez
    SS-VD Vic Darchinyan
    SS-JA Jorge Arce
    SS-AA Arthur Abraham
    SS-JG Joan Guzman
    SS-JLC Jose Luis Castillo
    SS-JCC Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
    SS-AB Andre Berto
    SS-CD Chad Dawson
    SS-AW Andre Ward
    SS-AP Aaron Pryor
    SS-RBBM Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
    SS-JF Jeff French

    As for the other signatures (dual, tri, quad) you will have to wait longer for them as there is no checklist that I have seen out yet. I plan on trying to fill out the whole set. Here is a link to a Casa auto on ebay so you can see what they look like:

    Damn you to hell (ok jk). I wasn't keeping up on it because I was out of town and all of a sudden they are out! Hopefully we don't go into bidding wars on each other on ebay :lol: . Just out of curiousity what did the Peter/Pryor dual auto run ya? So far I am LOVING the prices of the boxing autos; they are dirt cheap!

    BTW I have a buddy that opened a box and pulled the JMM/John dual auto. I am trying to pry it out of his hands. He isn't even a boxing fan, but he knows its my fav sport so he is holding onto it now just to **** me off :fire

    And btw I wish there was more info on this stuff. There are supposed to be 30 single autos, 20 dual, and no one knows how many tri and quad. I can only find checklists for 25 single and less than 10 dual. What gives?

    This is cool. I used to be a die hard card collector also. I just wish they had all of the big names. I would scoop them up.

    Yea I sell baseball cards and football cards on ebay alot, It's pretty fun to pull a auto or a game used jersey card from a pack, I once pulled a card that had three pieces of bases from a playoff game from yankee stadium. I sold it as fast as I could being that Im a die hard redsox fan!!!
