1996 Ringside Boxing Series 1

Hello all. Today we go into the ring for the first pack of Boxing cards here on The Pack Rip Cafe. I have no desire to collect boxing cards but for 50 cents in the Vend-O-Pack machine so I grabbed them for a little variety here today. Any cards I am not keeping are in the freebie box so if you want them just shoot me an e-mail.

1996 Ringside Boxing Series 1

#13 International Boxing Hall of Fame Maxie Rosenbloom

#2 International Boxing Hall of Fame Willie Pep

#47 Tom Johnson

#35 Luis Ramon Campas

A card with the American flag is a nice surprise. The International Boxing Hall of Fame are inserts.

#36 Ralph Tiger Jones

#7 Alex Stewart

#11 Jorge Gonzalez

#R3 Melvin Foster RC

The Foster is a rookie card, hence the R in the number.

A couple of backs.

BY THE NUMBERS:
Total Cards: 8

Teams Represented: NA
Rookie Cards: 1 (Melvin Foster)
Sub Sets: 0
Parallels: 0
Inserts: 3 (Rookie and 2 International Boxing Hall of Fame)
Hits: 0
Keepers for Me: 1 (Johnson flag card)

MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 5 out of 10 Fair, Same background on most cards, not much in the way of action shots.
Back Design: 6 out of 10 OK, decent fighter facts, only one year stats and totals, too much blank space.
~~Player~~ Boxer Selection: 4 out of 10 Below average.

FINAL OVERALL RATING: Second round TKO (Foul Out).e I haven't heard of most of these fighters and a bland design make for a bad pack. The flag card and an 3 inserts get it to the second round before the TKO.
