This rare playinig card set was issued in vertical strips of 10. Card fronts are found in a variety of colors. It is a mixed subjects set; we do not know how many boxers are in the set but it likely has 52 cards representing an entire deck plus some jokers (as is typical with deck of card type strips in order to reach an even count of 6 strips of 10 cards). The issue shares images and captions with W580 and likely was issued around the same time or shortly thereafter. The checklist remains incomplete there are known different actors with the same card numbers so it is possible with the boxers but not yet known. What is offered here is one of the largest groups of boxers ever auctioned. Given the rarity of the issue we have decided to break up the lot and offer some of the cards individually. Presented here is Jack Dempsey graded GOOD+ 35 by SGC.
