1934 Amalgamated Press Sportsmen of the World Set Overview
This set featured a variety of athletes from different backgrounds all around the world. The cards were distributed by Amalgamated Press, an English newspaper and magazine company founded in 1901 covering many different publications.
32 cards made up this set that included all sorts of sports, such as boxing, tennis, soccer, and much more. A total of four boxers and a pair of tennis players were featured. The set is anchored by those six cards as well as the legendary cricketer Donald Bradman.
The cards featured color portraits of athletes along with their name at the bottom. They had white borders and backs offered a biography on the subject.
These cards were distributed in strips of four as seen here. Like other magazine issues featuring cards, they were probably issued over a course of several issues.
