These are very desirable basketball cards that are not for your collector on a tight budget. These cards were distributed for over three years on the Royal Custard packages of Jello and Pudding. The set included everything from sports to movie stars. There was an album you could get to store your cards, but these cards suffer from the trimming problems that all cut out card have. The cards measure approx. 2 3/4" x 3 3/8". The right side of the card has a head shot of the basketball player and the left side has information about the player. The backs of the cards are blank.
Another reason these are so popular among collectors is the player list of this eight card set. Mikan is the king of this set, but the "Jumping" Joe Falks and Jim Pollard cards represent two other big names.
