The Piatnik Sport Kwartet set had 9 series of 4 cards, for a total of 36 cards, just one of which featured basketball (#5D) I have determined that this set features the 1952 Helsinki Olympics by looking at some of the other playing cards. The discus throw card, #1D, features 1952 Soviet Gold medal winner Nina Romashkova, and the figure skating card, #8C, features the 1952 British Gold medal winner Jeannette Altwegg.
