Photo 65 of 221, Boxing Cards

W590 Harry Wills. A rather interesting set, typically erroneously sold as W580, this undetermined number of strip cards (issued in sheets of 25 cards) has a distinctly different type face than the sans-serif W580 set, some different subjects, and all different images. The baseball cards in the sheet are designated W590, so I am adopting that nomenclature here since the cards are on mixed subject sheets. The legends on the Dempsey, Leonard and Wills cards indicate an issue date of about 1925, as Leonard retired and Dempsey lost his title in 1926.
