CARR’S BISCUITS "SPORTS" CHAMPIONS ILLUSTRATED RECORDS HAND-CUT BASKET BALL CARD (U.K.)
These extremely rare hand-cut cards were issued by Carr’s of Carlisle Ltd Biscuit company of England. The set consisted of 48 cards total featuring a variety of sports including one basketball card. The cards were initially released on a strip, meant to be cut-out and affixed to an accompanying album. They also had tabs at the bottom that could be bent and folded to create a stand up model of the card. Each card would name the sport and then one interesting fact about it. They have been dated to 1963 due to the fact that the football card mentions the F.A. Cup Winners of 1962-63 and the basketball card mentions the last Olympics as 1960.
