1963 Carrs Biscuits Sports Champions

Country of origin: England
Size: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"

The images and info for this set have been shared with us from the collection of Retro Baloncesto. These extremely rare hand-cut cards were issued by Carr’s of Carlisle Ltd Biscuit company of England. The set consists of 48 cards featuring a variety of sports. The cards were initially released on a strip, meant to be cut-out and affixed to an accompanying album. They also have tabs at the bottom that could be bent and folded to create a stand up model of the card. Each card names 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. ​The cards are numbered in the album, but no copy of the full album is available online, so the number for the basketball card is currently unknown.
