The release was distributed by London tobacco company Burnstein Isaacs & Company for their Empress Cigarettes brand. The cards picture black and white images of the fighters and include their names and a card number on the front. Backs include the Empress / Burnstein Isaacs names as well as a biography of the subject on the front. Of note here is that two variations of the cards exist. The differences are minor but they are there. The font for the names on the front can either be found with capital letters or with a mixed case of capital and lower case. The font on the backs varies, too. One type has some of the text larger (the header and footer information) and further away from the borders while the other type is the opposite. The series is headlined by Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey, but also manages to include about 20 additional Hall of Famers as well.
