There were 72 cards in this set that featured participants in the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico. There were a total of 4 basketball cards. These were meant to be adhered to a corresponding album, so they are hard to find without residue. Cards No. 65 & 66 feature a scene from the USA vs Spain game and the backs of the card refer to the photo as Spanish player, Alocén, and how he was “violently tackled” by the Americans and suffered a dislocated ankle and was unable to play in the remaining games.
