PRODUCTOS LA GOLOSINA ALBUM DEL DEPORTE (1a EDICION) ATENEO DE LA JUVENTUD BASKETBALL TEAM CARD (ARGENTINA)
This rare Argentine set featured a variety of sports and was released by the historic chocolates and sweets brand Productos La Golosina. The set notably features the first known card of racing great Juan Manuel Fangio. I cannot locate a checklist for this set, but I believe it had just under 200 cards, with the amount featuring basketball unknown. The Ateneo De La Jeventud (Youth Athenaeum) card shows the basketball team on the front, with the text on the back reading: “Good basketball team that is making its way steadily towards the top spot”.
Measurement: 2" x 1.375"
