Country of origin: United States
Size: 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" (base) and 2-1/2" x 9-7/8" (rulers)

This set consists of 99 “tallboy” cards, and marked the company’s return to the hobby for the first time since 1957. The set is anchored by several key rookies including Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and John Havlicek. One of the Rulers inserts were found in each pack, folded into 4 sections. The ruler marks on the left indicate how tall the player pictured is. The Rulers set was numbered to 24 cards, but card #5 was never issued.
