Three Champions Card
 

Hi-
I recently acquired twelve examples of the Three Champions card that shows Jack Dempsey, FDR, and Herb Lehman (three scanned below). I purchased all twelve from the same dealer, and he said he originally had 40 or so more (sold over the years).

I believe the dealer and have purchased many nice items from him over the years. He stated that these are definitely from the 1930s, based on the estate he purchased them from. They do have the look, feel, and smell of being old.

Does anyone else have one, and do you remember where you got it? I am guessing these were never formally distributed. I am also guessing that all of the examples originated from the same estate.

FWIW I have seen it many times on eBay

Thanks Adam. I did do a search, and found one on eBay currently (at a very high price in my opinion). I also saw at least two on Worthpoint. I wonder if they were distributed, based on how often you have seen them.

I've had a couple over the years. Probably a campaign handout of some kind.

Thanks Dave. I do really like them.

There are also variations with Dempsey and FDR and a different 3rd pol.

Definitely prevalent, but very cool cards indeed

Thanks Roy and Adam! Adam, do you have a scan of the other variations?

There's one one eBay now.

Thanks Spec! I like that one too. If anyone has an extra of that one (or another that is different) I would be interested in trading.
