RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT! LIBRARY OF CARDS #263 LES CARTES DU SAVOIR SPORTS RUMMY SET (CANADA)
The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Library of Cards sets were designed as a rummy-style game where players could learn unusual facts. The cards were released in both English and a bilingual English/French version, which leads me to believe they were likely released in both the United States and Canada. The sets included 32 cards and instructions. The Sports Set (#263), featured two basketball cards: The #P1 with Lewis College player Vern Gaugush and a story of how his team won a game with his only successful shot in the 6th overtime and the #I4 card (not pictured) with William Kendrick of Notre Dame and his 30 baskets in 15 minutes feat.
