The Baggioli Editore Olimpiadi set consisted of 210 cards of Olympic games and athletes and was broken down by Olympic years, starting with ancient games and ending with 1964. 3 years featured a basketball card: 1948 (#90), 1960 (#167) & 1964 (#193). The most notable of these was the 1960 card, which featured Jerry West. The same image would later be used on his 1983 Topps Greatest Olympians card. The cards were typically glued into the accompanying album, so they can be hard to find in decent condition. These same images were used in the earlier released 1965 Jenkki Gum Hellas Olympos set from Sweden (minus the West).
