It seems to be a pretty well collected and nice set even though it is british.

Jim,
There are 50 from 1908 (Pugilists & Wrestlers: Series One - the big card is John L. Sullivan) and 25 from 1909 (Pugilists & Wrestlers: Series Two - the big one is Jack Johnson). There is also 50 from 1915 (Boxers - Carpentier is in this one). While the fronts look alike on all three sets, the backs of the Pugilists & Wrestlers from 1908-1909 have blue print but the backs of the 1915 Boxers set have green print. I've never noticed a cream vs. white back and have never seen a date printed on any of the card backs. It's very confusing b/c grading companies often screw up. For example, I have a 1915 Carpentier in an SGC holder with a 1908 label on it
