Card fronts have different photographic images of period fighters all in fighting poses in and outside of the ring. Includes Jeffries himself, Gans, Nelson, Corbett, Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, and a politically incorrect card titled “Johnson-McVey Fighting Tar Babies” showing both black boxers in the ring. All cards have captions including joker card which has nice photo of Jeffries with facsimile signature “Yours Truly Jas. J. Jeffries”. Cards have dust soil with some creasing here and there. Overall Good/VG. Nicely designed high quality deck. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake’s COA.
