Mike Tyson Boxing Cards...
I grew up playing Mike Tyson's punch out and reading about the results of his fights in the newspaper and catching highlights on network television. We did not have cable.
A few years ago I purchased a few of the DVD's that cover his early fights and it is just simply insane. Mike Tyson was a wrecking machine. I decided at that time I wanted to collect his cards. I have taken a great deal of interest in the Panini rookie as I think that is just such an awesome sports card. Here are a few of my favorite ones.

There was an interesting one that came out in Leaf 2012 Inscriptions. Check this out:

I have continued to increase the number of Mike Tyson cards in my collection and here are number of other ones. I think he has some great cards like I said and is definitely a challenge to collect.

Yes it is very odd!
Apparently it is pretty rare and PSA has only graded 6 of these vs 48 of his action shot. There is also a Jack Nicklaus back of head view and it has been graded 21 times. I am not sure of the story behind it but it has something to do I believe with the booster packs. These were from a card game in the UK. |

I was thrilled to get this in the mail today. A tremendous example of the SuperSport back. So far there have only been seven of these graded by PSA.
I need to add the Tyson and Gritti to my collection to have all three. |

I did quite a bit of research trying to find out what was the true rookie when Tyson cards first started really getting some action.
The Italian back is indeed the actual rookie with the UK back having cards with info from the French Open in 1987. It appears BGS has picked up on it and are now labeling the UK version as 1987. Mike Tyson Rookie Sticker Panini Supersport UK 1987 BGS 9 Near Gem Mint | eBay |

There is no way to tell what the true numbers are on this card. Many of the UK were labeled Italian as well. |

Here are the pics I took tonight. I am very excited about this card. A month back when the PSA 10 surfaced through the PWCC auction it was the first time in the entire time I have looked for Mike Tyson cards one came up for sale on EBAY. That is nearly four years. It was the first increase in the Pop in that time frame too.
This is a super strong card. Razor sharp corners, great centering and good back centering too. It is a very solid 10. I love crossing cards like this off my want list. |

I ended up buying a second PSA 10 a few months ago and this is the one I happened to scan in for the registry set.
This just came in the mail today. I saw in the listing it was an older scratched holder so I will definitely at some point pay to get it re holdered. I uploaded both pics to my set. I am working on Tyson through 1991 http://www.psacard.com/psasetregistr....aspx?s=133128 Last edited by dpeck100; 01-07-2015 at 09:39 PM. |

The final price on the Tyson PSA 10 didn't disappoint.

Yes I am happy about this purchase for sure. What I am more happy about though is getting in on the ground floor on this sticker in 2010 and loading the boat. I still have a total of 10 copies with two raw, two PSA 8's, five PSA 9's and my 10.
Of those that I own, 8 out of the 10 are the true Italian rookie which is nice. I will be posting a scan of the foil sticker later this week when it arrives. Thanks for pointing that thread out to me. That is a beast being a Pop 2 with none higher. My other copies are a PSA 4 and PSA 6. |
