Cards 155, 156, and 157 for my master set run. All Surbrug/Intermissions Fact. 57 w/Stats backs, one of the 3 tougher backs.
Leach Cross is my favorite of the 3, as the "Fighting Dentist" is just a great nickname. Cross was a practicing dentist in an era where boxers came from the bottom of society and few had any real education, much less medical practices. Tom Sharkey was a Heavyweight contender, and he and James J. Jeffries are the only fighters in the set that were retired when the set was first issued in August of 1909. Jeffries signed on to come out of retirement for a hype fight to take a loss in October 1909.
