Bare-Knuckle brawler Jem Smith is the focus of this 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter "World's Champions" card. In addition to scoring a scarce champion boxer card from the long vanquished arena of bare-knuckle prize fighting, you will also be scoring a heavyweight grade designation. This prime example is graded (NM 7) by PSA, which is good for a PSA Pop Report rank of "1/12" at the NM level, with just 3 higher out of a total PSA graded population of 64. This gem of a Jem card is clean and bright with strong colors, a distinct image and fairly sharp corners. Given its advanced age of 130+ years, this card shines as a remarkable example.
