if anyone  doesn't know they actually came blank fronted!!! then the person would        get the card wet and put it in the sun or light. then the picture  would develope. thats why there      aremany underdeveloped cards out there. hard to findwell developed ones!!!

these were my great grandfathers card. he loved boxing and was a small  time boxer, thats        probably why the boxing cards were so well developed, seems he put a little more time into them.

those are really great... you should definitely get them graded and encapsulated... a few of the boxing ones are almost perfectly done.

the large scans make them look like they are in a lot worse condition than they really are. especially the dempsey!

I agree, I would spend the money to get those slabbed and preserved. Especially since they are such a family heirloom. Those are beautiful.....
