<B>1893 N266 P. Lorillard Boxing Cards Group Lot of 11.</B></I> The N266 Lorillard issue is a rare one to begin with but the offered lot of 11 represents a variation of the issue that we have yet to come across. Each card features a different boxing maneuver and pair of boxers similar to the Lorillard cards that derive from the 1890-1892 N266 series, however each of these cards is stamped at the top with Copyrighted By P. Lorillard Co. 1893. Other differences include the colored borders around the boxers, the explanation of each maneuver at the bottom of each card rather than the top, and the lack of the Red Cross Long Cut tobacco advertisements on the bottom. Each card has been deemed authentic by PSA and they believe that each of the cards has been hand cut. The fact that we have never seen this particular Lorillard set offered before leads us to believe that this may in fact be a prototype set that never reached distribution. Among the pairs of boxers included are: Sullivan-Corbett, Fitzsimmons- Dempsey and Murphy-Weir. The cards average a solid Very Good condition with several having minor creases, foxing, and the expected associated wear of cards that are of a larger size.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Sportscard (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
