In the early 1950s, the advent of television made boxing one of the most-watched sports in the country. To capitalize on this trend, in 1951, the Topps Gum Company produced its 96-card “Ringside” card set. Released in two 48-card series, the set features the top fighters from what many boxing historians call the sport’s greatest era. Among the highlights are Rocky Marciano's rookie card, Jake LaMotta, Ezzard Charles, and Sugar Ray Robinson. The great fighters of the recent past are also featured, including Gene Tunney, Joe Louis, and Jersey Joe Walcott. This complete 96-card set includes 10 cards that have been PSA graded: Max Baer (EX 5), Tony Janiro (EX 5), Petey Scalzo (EX-MT 6), Rocky Marciano (VG 3), Vic Toweel (VG-EX 4), Bob Murphy (VG-EX+ 4.5), Antonino Rocca (VG-EX 4), Joey DeJohn (EX 5), Joe Walcott vs. Ezzard Charles (VG 3), and Ezzard Charles (VG+ 3.5).
