Fitzsimmons Cards for Sale - Updated Description

[Andy Baran]

I have been able to sell most of the cards that I had previously posted. I'm basically down to just a few Fitzsimmons cards (and 1 Jeffries). I have added more information below:

Excerpt from Adam Warshaw's book - America's Great Boxing Cards 2012-2013, Page 40 (N566 1895 Newsboy Cabinets): "A few lucky souls will be able to get a Bob Fitzsimmons or John L. Sullivan. These two cards apparently were issued in only a limited degree. They have very high series numbers (Fitzsimmons is 966 and Sullivan is 1068). I have seen only three Fitzsimmons (two with Campbell mounts) and one Sullivan." AND "Branding is of interest here. The mounts typically carry "Newsboy" branding. Apparently, a studio called "Campbell" took some of the pictures and also issued cabinet cards using the same images. The Campbell cabinets are very rare and should sell for a multiple of the "standard" mount."

This Campbell Fitzimmons is exceptionally rare, and this is the highest graded example known.
