International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987
International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987 From: Tim Leone Sorry about being a week late on the last Newsletter, but I broke another copyer and it was necessary to have the copy work done by a printing company. To date there has been a total of 90,000 feet of 8mm and S8mm requested for transfer, about 8,000 feet of 16mm and 58 hours of VHS duplication requested. I'm surprised that Castle Films is no longer in business. Again, I must express gratitude to those members who took time to write and phone their encourgement over the resumption of the Newsletter. The organization is a joint venture involving all of us. Without the support of the membership, none of this would be possible. -- Long Live Boxing -- I am involved in doing research in the pre-1932 years of the career of Tiger Jack Fox. At the moment there are numerous verifications of main event matches between the years of 1925 and 1932 for him. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. In this Newsletter, Thanks must go to the following gentlemen for their contributions: Tracy Callis, Dave Block, Paul Zabala, Bob Soderman, Lawrence Fielding, John Grasso, John Hibner, and Lucketta Davis. 1 V-1 E I F ID I FzECTOFt "V F" 1J A E NEW MEMBERS Jack Barry 33 Skyline Drive West Haven, CT 06516 Phone (203) 933-6651 Mr. Barry is interested in professional boxing from the bareknuckle era to 1959 in the U.S.A.

Ogden's Tabs Boxing Cards
Ogden’s Tabs Boxing Cards (Ca. 1901 – 1903) Documenting a Lost Era By David Luftig Introduction At the beginning of the 20th Century, the British tobacco company, Ogden’s was producing many different cards as part of their Tabs series. Some of those cards featured an assortment of international boxers. There’s a lot to like about those old Ogden’s boxing cards. For example, the cards have great images, feature a great selection of Ogden’s Tabs boxers. From left to right: Heroes of the Ring, A Series, B fighters, and are still Series, F Series, General Interest. available and affordable. As an added bonus, these cards document an era in the sport when no other cards were being produced. The Basics Sometime around 1901, Ogden’s began producing their multi-subject Tabs series. The Tabs series were different than Ogdens’ previous Guinea Gold series as the Tabs were slightly larger and did not have blank backs. The Guinea Gold series was produced circa 1900-1901. The first Tabs cards to include boxers were the Heroes of the Ring and Series A sets. Ogden’s did include a boxer or two in their previous Guinea Gold series but those cards are rare and quite valuable. Additionally, there was also an Australian Tabs series which included some boxers but again, those cards are quite rare and valuable. I have never seen a thorough Australian Tabs boxing checklist. Although there were many Ogden’s series produced in the UK during this time, only five of them included boxers: The Heroes of the Ring, A Series, B Series, F Series, and General Interest. -
