That’s another one of my favorites, thanks for posting it! Great image for sure! My only gripe I guess, was that there isn’t any info, vitals or stats on the reverse as one would expect from a card. I also couldn’t find a ton of info on that issue other than that PSA labels the set as being 1950 rather than its proper issued year of 1960.

Do you know how those Svart-Vita OS cards were issued or found their way into the hands of consumers/collectors? Was it packs, gum, or something else?

PSA is so bad at nonmainstream issues lol. I'm not sure, but these cards are fairly common I believe, I also have this Bikila.

Here’s another addition in Wilma’s card #8 from the 1962 Cadet Sweets set from the UK. The image and art perfectly captures Wilma’s grace, beauty and athleticism in many ways that her 1960 rookie card sadly does not. Wilma would retire following the USA-USSR track meet at Stanford on July 22nd of the same year this set was issued, in what some have deemed to be the greatest meet of all time.
