1910 T218 Mecca "Champions"

A tobacco series of champion athletes and prize fighters, with boxers making up a large share of the checklist alongside other sports. Mecca and Hassan backs are the common ones; Tolstoi backs are rare. In this collection it represents Abe Attell as he was known in 1910: a reigning featherweight champion, not yet the gambler of 1919.
