Think tobacco cards are just for baseball? Decades before the NBA was founded, Murad printed four cards with college teams picured. The Willaims College and Northwestern Universtiy card had a second edition printed, so you could say their are six available cards for this set. There are two Murad designations: T-51 and T-6 Murads. The Murad came two T-6s to a pack, and came with a coupon for a T-51. If you got 100 coupons you received a T-51 card.
Though these are the oldest basketball cards available, they are actually pretty inexpensive.
