1920's Boxing Postcards

   About 20 years ago I came upon some postcards from the 1920's. There were two postcards of John L. Sullivan and James John Corbett; I was pretty excited about my find. These would be the oldest postcards in my collection and to this still is. The postcards are marked Copr. 1921.Ex.Sup.Co.,Chgo. What's makes the postcards even more interesting is that they fighter’s history on them; the postcards are also signed by each man. Here you have 1920's trading cards on postcards. I have no information on how popular they were in that era...but America loved these two boxers so I would think they had to be a big deal.

All you could have done in mailing these postcards is place an address on the right side of the postcard and find some strange place to sign your name. There really is no room on the left side of the postcard because of the history type in

. 

I would love to get my hands on a few more of these postcards. To bad we don have postcards like this of our modern day boxers.
