1934 Player and Sons Boxing Set Overview

1934 Player and Sons Boxing This was one of many instructional sets released in the 1920s and 1930s for the sport. Cards were distributed by Player and Sons, a UK tobacco company, for the company’s Player’s Cigarettes product.

Cards gave collectors insight on how to perform various boxing techniques. Color pictures were presented on the front and the back gave a description of what was shown. Either one or a pair of the same boxers is shown on each card, though they are generic and not meant to depict specific fighters.

Interestingly enough, this is actually a pretty rare set. Many 1930s UK cigarette cards are relatively common but this set is downright hard to find. As a result, it is a little more expensive than your typical 1930s UK generic boxing set.
