I used to own a Darby Chocolates Chief Myers cut-out like that, Brian. I still like die-cut cards. From a design standpoint, this is one of my favorites:
The fight sucked but the card is freakin' great. It is the size of a 1952 Topps card, to the top of the eagle silhouette.
Another die-cut I love:
Two known examples, this one and one with the stand torn off.
This card isn't die-cut but I ran across the image and decided to put it up because it always makes me wonder "why was Jack Dempsey punching a blind guy?"
