The cigarette companies often included collectible cards with their packages of cigarettes between 1875 and 1940's and often depicted actresses of the period, costumes and sports.

Whilst the set includes a large number of non-sporting subjects, it has a good number of sports cards from various sports, including boxing, golf, cycling, soccer, rugby, cricket, and more.
