Who is National Kid in this photo?

vistaman44 · 02-12-2006, 06:11 PM

I saw a blurry old photo of National Kid once, and it seemed like he had very dark skin, so I'm going to guess he's on the right ...

Thanks again for all your efforts, Chargers. Also, thanks to Boxscribe for those submissions. They'll cut down on the later letters' lists!

Here is my effort resizing/cropping based on your info.:

Chargers;

Do you have a large collection of old boxing magazines or pictures? How are you coming up with so many? I'm impressed ...!

ChargersFan1 · 02-12-2006, 08:20 PM

Magicians never reveal their secrets!
No just kidding - I spend about 5 hours a week searching the net especially ebay for boxing photos to enhance my TBCB experience. It's become another hobby.

I have downloaded every picture from this site along with Boxrec, British Boxing, ebay, Pugilistica, Antiquities..., and many others.

Actually I have well over 24,000 photos of fighters (including several different pics of the same fighters), 1,560 ringcard girls, 546 cornermen, 537 referees, 526 flags, 433 venues, 337 title belts, 129 judges, 97 announcers, 97 nations, and if we ever get TB Role Play or additional features for TBCB, I have 54 commissioners/chairmen/presidents, 72 ring side experts/commentators, 217 managers, 141 promoters/matchmakers

I enjoy sharing the wealth because I certainly have taken a lot over the past couple of years and now it is time for me to give back to the community.

Many of these will be in the second 1940s booster pack I'm working on, but the ones that are done I will gladly zip up tonight and post tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help.

Mark;

As promised, here are 50 of the 73 you requested. The files are in three zips, due to upload limitations. The rest of those requested are in play testing or at the top of my rating list and will be available in a week or so.
