Riz La Croix is a rice paper company in France. In 1959, they produced a 100-card sports set, Des Sportifs (Sportsmen), which featured French athletes of various sports and included 6 basketball cards. I assume the cards were released with their products, most likely their rolling papers given the size of the cards. There does not seem to be any accompanying album that was made for the cards.

Measurements: 1.5" x 2.75"
