Presented is a complete 1910 T220 Mecca Champions set of 50 cards, a cornerstone of early boxing and sports card collecting. Issued by the Mecca Cigarette Co., this beautifully illustrated set showcases legendary prizefighters and athletes of the era with vibrant full-color lithography and richly detailed backgrounds that bring each subject to life.

Highlights include three of boxing’s most celebrated names:

John L. Sullivan – The “Boston Strong Boy” and the last bare-knuckle heavyweight champion, pictured with trademark intensity and historical reverence.

Jack Dempsey (Nonpareil) – The original Dempsey, middleweight champion known for his refined technique and tenacity, distinct from the later “Manassa Mauler.”

James J. Corbett – “Gentleman Jim,” the stylish and strategic fighter who defeated Sullivan and ushered in a new era of gloved boxing.

This set remains one of the most visually striking and historically rich boxing issues ever produced. A rare opportunity to own a complete run featuring the sport’s early legends in their prime, rendered in bold color and timeless design.

You will receive the exact item(s) pictured.

Happy bidding!
