The Astros Del Deporte set were cardstock discs and featured multiple sports including soccer, cycling, and basketball. The set had an unusually high amount of basketball cards, 95 in total, when most South American albums were dedicated to soccer by in large. A page in the album mentions that collectors could mail in requests for missing discs at a cost of 8 cents each in order to complete their albums. I am unable to find a complete checklist for this set.

Measurements: 1.375" in diameter
