All-Time Greatest 1910 T218 Champions Complete Graded Set - #1 on PSA Registry (8.02 GPA)
Perhaps the most widely collected T-type boxing cards are the T218 cards of Champion Athletes and Prizefighters, issued with various American Tobacco Company products. The overall set contains 153 cards of various athletes and psuedo-athletes, including 61 boxers and one boxing referee. T218 cards are beautiful examples of turn of the century lithography, among the nicest ever made. The boxing portion of the set is filled with members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, most notably the key cards from the set, Jack Johnson, with two different cards (PSA 8 and PSA 7), and Jim Jeffries, also with two cards (PSA 8). Other keys include Abe Attell of Black Sox infamy (PSA 8), middleweight title holder Stanley Ketchel (PSA 8), and three HOF African-American fighters Joe Gans (PSA 7), Sam Langford (PSA 8) and Joe Jeannette (PSA 8); African-American subjects are almost unique to boxing in prewar cards. Ethnic collectors also have several Jewish athletes to choose from besides Attell: Leach Cross (ne Louis Wallach), Harry Lewis, Willie Lewis, Harry Stone, Abe Goodman and track star Abel Kiviat. Mecca is the most common brand of T218. Hassan is slightly more difficult to find than Mecca, say on a 55:45 ratio. Any card from the set in better than ex-mt condition must be considered rare, so this set is literally a giant condition rarity. The set is the all-time highest graded on the PSA registry with an astounding (31) Pop 1's. Here is a complete breakdown of the cards, per grade: PSA 9 (2), PSA 8.5 (1), PSA 8 (43), PSA 7.5 (3), PSA 7 (86), PSA 6.5 (1) and PSA 6 (17). Set rating of 8.023 with (111) Mecca and (42) Hassan backs. Patsy Brannigan (NM-MT 8), WM. Parke (NM-MT 8), Unk Russell (NM-MT 8), E.J.
