1942 U40 Adam Hats complete set featuring biographies on 30 different boxers written on matchbooks. Each written under the byline of boxing journalist Sam Taub the matchbooks do not contain pictures or illustrations of the subject utilizing all the available interior space for the biographical information as well as a photo of Taub presumably wearing an Adam's Hat. Each matchbook has had its matches and staple removed but the strikers are all intact. The majority are in G to VG condition though some are better and a few are lesser. The set includes the following: Abe Attell James Braddock Tommy Burns Tony Canzoneri Georges Carpentier Kid Chocloate Gentleman Jim Corbett Mike Donovan Jack Dempsey Young Griffo Joe Dundee Johnnie Dundee Bob Fitzsimmons Joe Gans Jim Jeffries Joe Louis Stanley Ketchel Benny Leonard Joe Lynch Jack McAuliffe Philadelphia Jack O'Brien "Kid" McCoy Terry McGovern Jimmy McLarnin Barney Ross Battling Siki John L. Sullivan Gene Tunney Joe Walcott and Jimmy Wilde. An interesting set of matchbooks containing intriguing biographical information on some of the greatest prizefighters ever written by one of the sport's great journalists.
