1915 Ogden’s Boxers Set Overview
This release issued by Ogden’s tobacco company for its cigarette packages in 1915. 50 cards are in the set, which features famous boxers. The set was one of several that Ogden’s created with boxers in it.
This set, while not a continuation, is linked closely with Ogden’s 1908-09 Pugilists & Wrestlers sets. The card numbering with this set does not pick up where the 1909 issue left off but the sets have the same look and design.
Similar to the 1888-89 Allen & Ginter N28 and N29 series, pictures of the athletes stand out as they are set against a plain white background. Pictures are portraits/headshots and the backs have a biography of the subject pictured on the front.
Several of the sport’s stars are found in the release, including Jim Driscoll, Georges Carpentier, and Jess Willard, among several other Hall of Famers.
