- - New Boxing Set (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=365896)

Picked up a new boxing set that was advertised as uncatalogued. I've never seen it, but I’m hardly an expert. I think it's pretty cool - 1920s issue British American Tobacco. SGC graded a few (pics below). I'll put together the checklist and try to narrow down the year. Right now I'm thinking 1922/23 because card#1 is the Dempsey/Carpentier fight. Cards are 1 5/8" x 2 3/8" and decent stock (not paper). Any info or comments are appreciated.

Damn, I feel like I say this way too often...but...never seen them before.

That's a helluva find.

Couldn't find mention of it in any of my World Index's or other reference material. Doesn't mean it's not in there somewhere, but some of those volumes are so dense, you'll go cross-eyed looking from something specific for too long.

Nice design on those cards to.

John, I think it's pretty safe to start calling you an expert at this point. ;)

Bitchin set. Got an image of the Leonard?
