This is the item that started me off on a slight obsession to include as much as I could about the Allen & Ginter World's Champions cigarette cards - a superb Advertising Banner, with gorgeous Victorian-era lithography and portraiture featuring an intriguing assortment of 19th century sporting legends, the Allen & Ginter "The World's Champions" set is considered one of the true masterpieces of the early trading card hobby. Posters such as these would have adorned the walls of the cigar shops back during the presidency of Grover Cleveland, encouraging smokers to complete the set.
