1964 Olympic Flash Welcome-Tarzan et Johnny

Country of origin: France
Size: 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"

The images and info for this set have been shared with us from the collection of Retro Baloncesto. 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.
