These cards are blank-backed and were most likely intended to be pasted into an album, and the set consists of 240 subjects in a vast range of sports, including soccer, swimming, cycling, gymnastics, auto racing, and importantly, boxing. Offered here is the sole example of #171 in the series, featuring Cassius Clay, to attain the rating of GEM MINT 10 as determined by PSA. A razor-sharp image of the champ is framed by stalwart corners and spectacularly clean, white borders.
