1910 Dixie Queen Prizefighters of the Past and Present Set Overview

T220 T223 Boxing Peter Jackson

This rare set is not easy to come by. While they look like the more popular and common T220 Champion Athletes and Prizefighters set that was distributed by Mecca and Tolstoi, they are slightly different.

The T223 Dixie Queen set used the same images from the T220 set but has a few differences. First, they were printed on different paper. They are also slightly smaller than the T220 cards and, instead of Mecca and Tolstoi ads, these have Dixie Queen ads on the back as they were distributed with Dixie Queen Plug Cut Smoking Tobacco.

The styles for the cards varies as some feature individual boxers while others feature fights between a pair of boxers. Additionally, while some of the cards featuring two boxers include their full names, others only have their last names.

The cards have color pictures with thick white borders on the front and a description of the subject(s) on the back as well as a tobacco advertisement for Dixie Queen.

While they are believed to be issued in 1910, that is an estimate.
