A Cuban issue, this set contains approximately 200 boxers and consists of real photos on thin, easily damaged paper. The subject of this card, Benny Leonard, was ranked 8th on the Ring Magazine's list of the "80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years" and #7 on ESPN's "50 Greatest Boxers of All-Time." In 2005, the International Boxing Research Organization ranked Leonard as the #1 lightweight of all-time. According to Cyberboxingzone: “He was one of the all-time great lightweights and pound-for-pound fighters that ever entered the ring.” Leonard was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1955 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. His card is one of the key HOFers in the very difficult Romeo y Julieta set.
