The images and info for this set have been shared with us from the collection of Retro Baloncesto. British American Tobacco issued a few series in the 1930’s to be issued specifically in China, most notably the 1934 “Hints on Association Football”, a 48-card set featuring soccer. Far rarer is this “Sports and Games” Chinese issue, which was likely released in 1934. Card #12 was the only card in the set that featured basketball. The World Tobacco Card Index Classification number for this set is ZE3-4. There are two known variations of the back - One features a vertical panel box with B.A.T. name listed within it, the other does not.
