THe N566 Newsboy cabinet issue was absolutely massive more than 500 cards of popular actresses places politicians celebrities actors boxers and baseball players. The various cards from the issue can be found on peach-colored mounts or grey with red typography or green. Cards of non-athletes can be found for a few dollars each leading some collectors to have built up massive collections of them but the boxers and ballplayers command significant premiums. Presented here are three different cabinets featuring different poses of James J. Corbett. The three cabinets all present well two with peach mounts and one with gray. The gray mounted card pictures Corbett in street clothes and does exhibit some surface wear with an upper-right corner clip. A second portrait photo is found with a peach mount clean and attractive but with surface soiling at the top and bottom of the mount. The third portrait is a full body photo of Corbett with some staining at the top and bottom of the mount but a clean photo. Three cabinets total.
