1938 Churchman Boxing FAKES?
Anybody know much about these 1938 churchmans tobacco issues? I know theyre fairly plentiful, but was there ever a mass run of reprints? Looks like some are sepia and other b&w...
I'm new to boxing cards mostly, but i tend to like this set the best, next to 51 topps ringside. There are a lot of nice examples out there, but i also fear fakes and reprints. Any advice? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There's legitimate reproductions of this and nearly every other British set out there. Usually they are fairly high quality but they are also almost always identified on the back pretty clearly as "reproductions".
The backs are also often printed in a different color then the backs of the originals. |

I don't know the set, but, from the printing, I assume the one pictured is original.

There are reprints not indentified as reprints on the cards.
Here is a listing with one example of a reprint and an original. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Church...wAAOSwVF1aPa~3 |

I can’t ever remember seeing a fake or a reprint of this set. |

I've never seen a reprint. Keep in mind, this set was printed and distributed over the course of about 3 years. There are a few boxers whose back bios have different info and reference events that occurred in '39 and maybe '40. I don't remember which fighters they are. So it wouldn't surprise me if there were slight differences in the ink that was used over that period of time.
