From a sports card collector’s standpoint, the most interesting ones are likely the cards featuring hockey, boxing, and tennis. Some of the key issues featured here are Olympic hockey teams, boxers Jack Dempsey and Max Schmeling (among others), and tennis greats Bill Tilden, Fred Perry, and Suzanne Lenglen. American collectors will certainly recognize those names. However, the majority of the athletes are lesser known and, from many countries, will be known to most. The hockey teams as well as the cards of the boxers and tennis players will generally be the most desired by America collectors.The cards themselves are about as understated as can be imagined. Each one features a black and white picture of an athlete or a team inside of a thick white border. The lone print is on the mostly blank back – a card number and name of the subject.This was similar to numerous other international multi-sport sets printed in the 1930s.
