Our Box Break

Base Cards

There are 100 cards in the base set which are made up of 5 subsets. There are Gold #/d to 9 and 1 of 1 Onyx parallel versions to be found. Each box gets you 3 base cards. The individual styles of the base cards are incredible. The cards we pulled are James Toney #164, Shane Mosley #145, and Tommy Morrison #121.

Insert Cards

There are 63 cards in the Turkey Red insert set. There are also Gold #/d to 9 and 1 of 1 Onyx parallel versions to be found. Each box gets you 3 insert cards. Each Turkey Red card has the classic design that all Turkey Red cards feature. The cards we pulled are John L. Sullivan #151, Henry Cooper #129, and Joe Calzaghe #100.

Memorabilia Card

The fight-worn relic card we pulled from the box is Winky Wright #AM-44. It is a light blue swatch cut from one of his fight-worn boxing trunks. This is a very nice design for a relic set. Most of the relic cards feature silver and gold versions. Each memorabilia card will feature from 1 to up to 4 pieces in one card. There are even 1 of 1 boxing logo cards and ringside seat redemption cards.

Autograph Card

The autographed card we pulled from the box is the best hit of the box. It is an inscriptioned Sugar Shane Mosley #A-SM1 autograph! This card is absolutely incredible! All autograph cards are hard signed and available in Silver and Gold versions. There are 1 of 1 cut signatures and moniker cards as well!

Final Thoughts
I love that Sportkings continues to pump out products towards collectors who enjoy boxing cards. There are not many boxing products out there, but this is one of the best. The checklist of boxers featured in this product include some of the best legends and current fighters out there. The designs and artwork of the cards are simply amazing. The base cards have solid designs that goes well with the fighter featured. The classic Turkey Red design is a favorite amongst all collectors. The memorabilia cards feature some nice looking 3 and 4 piece relics all on one card. The Sugar Shane Mosley Autograph is simply amazing and looks even better in person. I hope Sportkings continues to release boxing cards in the future as they definitely keep coming strong each year with a knockout product!
