I only have one with a label like yours. It's a Newsboy. There seem to be a lot of these, but I haven't really looked into the number of different subjects.

There's at least a few hundred subjects in the Newsboy series; but not a ton of different boxing poses. Partial gallery is here, from the non-sport side: http://www.moviecard.com/gallery/oth...acco/n566.html

An excellent breakdown of N566 is here: http://www.newsboys.co.uk

Sweet card!

What are Beagle Post Cards? When were they made? Were they all made at the same time or continuously like Exhibit cards? I have Bob Fitzsimmons, but know nothing about it.

Thanks!

Jerry,

Beagles was a British company that produced or sponsored many many real photo postcards circa 1910. The time span was undoubtably broader, but most examples from boxing or wrestling I've seen have been right there. TPGs grade them and they really are quite stunning! Your Fitz fits into that time frame (see what I did there?). There are some great Jack Johnson issues that several of the board members have in their collections. Im sure folks know more than me.I'm

There are four (five if you count Muldoon) boxing subjects in the Newsboy set (Corbett, Sullivan, Jackson, Fitzsimmons) BUT there are a ton of pose and mount variations (many minute), at least a few known uses of the cards as trade cards by other businesses, and some of the poses were issued on mounts of the photo studio (Campbell) that made them.
