Nothing pricey, but took quite some time to put these together. Post 1:

Very cool.

Wondered who the Sportscaster card was, until I recognized Pat Summit on the floor, which kind of blew my mind that I recognized her from her playing days.

The other women on the Sportscaster card are:

USSR

19 Uljana Semjanova - first non American female player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame

11 Nadezha Zakharova

15 Nataliya Klimova


US

Lusia Harris jumping against Semjanova

8 Nancy Dunkle

(14) Pat Head - to the right of Harris

(15) Juliene Simpson next to Zakharova

This looks like it is from the 1976 Olympics. They only met once during the games. On July 23 the Soviet team beat the U.S. 112-77. The venue, a hockey rink known as Centre Étienne Desmarteau was modified for basketball. Temporary seats were added to accommodate 5000 people.

Great stuff Peter. The Coach K isn't an easy card to find.

The hardest for me were Rupp and Boeheim and Dean Smith,
