Intriguing sepia tone images and fantastic write-ups are featured in Churchman's 1938 "Boxing Personalities" set of 50, with the reigning heavyweight champion of the world at the time, Joe Louis, among the highlights of the encapsulated lineup here. Louis' card #26 is slabbed EX-MT 6 by PSA, the same as cards of other most notables 8-Georges Carpentier, 12-Jack Dempsey, 20-Jack Johnson and 34-Max Schmeling. The condition leaders are 37-Jimmy Walsh (NM 7) and 35-Gene Tunney (EX-MT+ 6.5), while four other EX-MT 6s complete the graded segment; 5-Eric Boon, 22-Jake Kilrain, 40-Moss Deyong and 47-Johnny Sharpe. The raw rest look to be either similar or a little inferior (EX, EX+) contributors, with the first (VG) and last (VG-EX) cards among the few conditions exceptions. Noteworthy are cards of Max Baer, James Braddock and Primo Carnera. A classic boxing ensemble to add to a collection.
