CAFÉ CHARLIE C, SÉRIE 2 (CHAMPIONS SPORT), NO. 3 - ROBERT MONCLAR
These two cards came from different albums but are nearly identical cards and sets. The Cafe Charlie has a darker color tone and mentions the album name in the upper right. I'm not sure which is rarer but both seem scarce. Cafe Charlie was a coffee and wine company that produced these cards to be adhered to an accompanying album. There were 12 series in the set, containing 8 or 16 cards per series, the total amount of cards in the set is unknown. The 2nd series, Champions Sport, had 8 cards with 1 featuring the basketball player Robert Monclar. Biscottes-Bougard was a French biscuits company and also had an album featuring the same cards. It seems as though they only released 1 album, unlike Charlie, who had an A, B & C album releases. Robert Monclar was a famous French basketball player, competing in the 1952, 1956 and 1960 Olympic games. He was inducted into the French Basketball Hall of Fame in 1960.
