THEODOR GRÜNEIS PASSAU XI. OLYMPIADE BERLIN 1936, BILD NO. 17, BASKETBALLTURNIER PHILLIPINEN VS MEXIKO (GERMANY)
I cannot find any information online for this set. I've inquired with other collector's and some have heard of it but never actually seen them before, it is considered to be the rarest of the 1936 German Olympics sports card releases. I've included an image of the only other card examples I could find from the set. These cards were released by Theodor Grüneis Tobacco of Passau, Germany in 1936. Like many German Berlin Olympic sets of that year, I assume the set consisted of a variety of athletes and games. This basketball card is number 17 in a series of 60 cards and features the 2nd round match between the Philippines vs Mexico on August 9th, 1936, in which the Philippines won 32-30.
