What would be the most ideal place to get a mint condition basketball card? If you answer was from the back pocket of a gas station attendent, then the 1955 Ashland & Aetna Oil cards are for you! The only difference between Ashland and Aetna is their differing logos, but the Aetnas are probably the rarest. The college basketball cards came in strips with a black and white card on the top and the bottom. They were to be ripped in half and passed out to customers. The cards will have preforated tops or bottoms, but they could have been cut by the attendants.
