Set / Album Overview and Checklist
This set features stars from sporting world.
In 2023 some great detective work was done by Stefano Mevoli to identify the year the set was released. He identified the following cards that helped pin down the exact year the set was released:
- #6 Jan Jenssen. He appears with the yellow jersey and the winner’s bouquet of flowers: 1968 was the only time he won the Tour de France.
- #36 Vera Caslavska. She is pictured holding the four gold medals she won in 1968. She ‘only’ won three in 1964.
- The group includes tennis players Manuel Orantes and Juan Gisbert, who only became professionals in 1968.
