Item Description
Exceptional tobacco card is 2.25x3-3/8" w/superb art image on front of him in boxing pose while reverse has short bio and list of his bouts dating back to 1899. From a set of 25 issued with "Miners Extra Smoking Tobacco" and featuring "Series Of Champions" of which five were boxers. Cards from this set are rarely, if ever, found in high grade because of being packaged in tobacco packages without protection. Graded Fair in part because of some creasing issues but image is bold, distinct and w/full vibrant color. This is among the best and most sought after of all Jack Johnson cards. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
