E79 is a set of 21 boxing cards, in black or red backs (red probably subsequent to black).
E80 is a set of 11 additional boxing cards released as a follow up series 2 to E79, all with red backs.
E79 red backs are very tough, they are not seen often. They are many, many, many times scarcer than E96 cards. I've seen a couple miscuts like this that tell us the two sets were printed together on the same sheet, though I suspect there were multiple sheet layouts and other sheets did not have both sets on it (as the gap in rarity is so vast that it makes no sense for it to have been like this for the entirety of production).
E79 was advertised along with E95. The Ty Cobb poster cut card you see sometimes was paired with a James J. Jeffries pose from E79.
