As Greg mentioned, I’m a big fan of those old British cards. The 1911 Boys’ Friends Jack Johnson cards are relatively rare. Not super scarce but much rarer than the Ogden’s Pugilists or the T218s. If I’m not mistaken, they were issued in panels of three boxers and hand cut. There’s only three cards to the set. Below is an example of what the three look like.
I’m not sure about those Australian cards as I don’t think I’ve ever seen them except from the seller you got yours from. Cool though.
... and keeping with the spirit of this thread, here’s some nice additions to my Jeannette collection!
