Released about the same time as the Turkey Red boxing series that includes his likeness, first black Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson was included in the 1911 W. D. & H. O. Wills tobacco set. Predating his appearance in other British tobacco sets by almost 20 years, the card has some touches around the perimeter but stands up well to the grade of SGC 60 EX 5. The background is bright white and the pigments that make up his image are bold and eye-appealing. A fantastic example from an obscure series.
