Complete set of 25 cards from this interesting Spanish issue advertising Chocolate Mundial. The "header" card from the set depicts a likeness of Dempsey with the title "Arte De Boxear" (The art of boxing). The headline on card #1 reads "Jack Dempsey Para Saber Boxear" - or "to learn boxing." Each of the cards depicts an illustration of two boxers engaging in a variety of boxing moves. Only the header card depicts Dempsey though his name is lent to the set. Still an interesting and seldom-seen complete set. Average grade VG due to wear on the borders and occasional scrapbook remnants; the image quality is far stronger however but the thin stock onto which these cards are printed does not resist wear particularly well. 25 cards total.
