Sharp, postally unused souvenir postcards from a pair of bouts featuring Hall of Fame boxers Dempsey vs. Tunney (1926), and Dempsey vs Gibbons (1923). Each shows clean, recognizable images, with wear limited to modest corner touches and edge chips, plus some foxing on the reverse for Tunney. Purses of that era could be sizeable and tilted heavily to the winner, as Dempsey's 15-round decision over Gibbons netted the winner $200K, while Gibbons received the cost of his time and travel. Great and distinctive pieces from two legendary bouts!
