WELCOME-TARZAN et JOHNNY CHEWING GUM OLYMPIC FLASH #16 BASKETBALL (FRANCE)
This postcard sized card was the only basketball card in this set of 40 cards released by Welcome-Tarzan and Johnny Chewing Gum in France that commemorated the Olympic Games. The other cards featured various Olympic sports and events. The cards were released just prior to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and listed the winning country of the sport for the previous 5 Olympics on the reverse. 1964 was left blank with a note encouraging the card holder to write in the upcoming results of the winner for that year. I would assume the image on front depicts the 1960 (most recent) games. It's very similar to the positioning of many photos of Oscar Robertson , it even has the same jersey number, although not quite similar enough to make a determination.
