Very early professional wrestling items. Stanislaus Zbysko (real name Jan Stanislaw Cyganiewicz) was a 2-time world champion heavyweight. He was also famous as a strongman, which is not surprising when you check out the arms. 5'8" and 240 pounds of muscle. Constant le Marin was from Belgium. Both competed oversees, but these cards are advertisements for a bout in the States. Read the descriptions on the back, where they discuss fighting each other wi...th the intent of the winner facing Frank Gotch. I believe these cards are from around 1910. The writing was printed with the card. Meant to promote their bout at the Coliseum on April 23d. The cards are in excellent condition with no creasing but general handling. I will ship overseas for exact postage.
