We are pleased to share the above information with you. We are confident this release will definately be shipped in March.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated. This product has not gone without challenges, however anyone who has seen these in person is well aware of the work that went into bringing you guys a killer item.

As we are willing to share on this site relevant information, we do ask that posts in this thread be limited to relevant information/questions regarding the above checklist...

Hopefully, our transparency is adequate to answer relevant questions.
Regards, Brian Gray

I've wanted a Hurricane Carter auto for awhile. Looking forward to the chance to pull one.

I do appreciate the checklist and knowing that Hogan and Trump signed much more than I thought. As I said earlier, it has the potential to be a nice, quality, boxing set. Your post does ease the speculation which is inherent in these presells.

Thanks,
VinnyH

Very cool to see a complete checklist. How does the addition of the 2 fighters effect the 12 additional sticker autos though? Will they become more SP or will some people get more hits in a pack than advertised?

Are the Fans of Ali (not on-card) SP's equally sp'ed? Like are there 50 of each for instance?

We are reducing the quanitites of the sticker autos... The more SP the better I think...

The few the sticker autos the better, no question. Might I offer a suggestion though. Instead of keeping all 12 and reducing them all, would it be possible to simply cut some of the lower end names all together instead?

More than 50 each? How many are you planning on? When I think SP, I normally think under 100.

I apologize I just threw a number out. Thank you.

Sweet the original Rocky... Chuck Wepner is in it!!!! I know he had issues before and was on hard times. Nice that you gave him a chance to be in this set.

I know everyone else is thinking it, so I might as well be the one to ask. What are the print runs for each auto?

Shavers, Holmes, Frazier, Spinks...man I got a feeling a lot of people are going to be going for sets on these sets. Sick stuff.

Hard times is one thing, being part of one of the largest autograph forging ring is another. I am pretty sure his hard times came after operation bullpen. Not when he was hawking fake autographs. I am just surprised BG being a huge Ali fan and having read operation bullpen ok'ed it. But What ever the case I am sure there is a reason. And that wont stop be from busting a case or 2.

What is ballpark figure on case run. No doubt this stuff will be on fire. We have all seen some of the hits in beefy video. Ty would you think this will be the best boxing release to date, with all Ali stuff in it and this auto checklist?. hard to top. But I have no idea about past boxing sets.

Best pure boxing product? No way, I think that honor goes to Ringside boxing round one. Amazing checklist of autos, all on-card, very cool memorabilia, 1/1 parallels, etc. Cant pass a judgment on this until I rip it though.

No doubt Chuck did some bad stuff in past trying to get by, not all his own doing. I think he has health/mental issues as well. Just glad he is getting auto as he was part of one of the great Ali fights and inspired Stallone in making the original Rocky movie, based of the Wepner Ali fight. Definitly picking up a Wepner auto for PC.
