WTB: Pre-war basketball cards

[Mikan99]

I just picked up a complete set of 1933 Jacques Les Sports (Belgium). The set has 24 cards. I'll post better pics once I have them in hand.

Hopefully I can safely remove them from the album.

Drew, there are at least two versions and maybe three of the Jacques Belgium set. I always thought it was 1935 and 1936, but I have heard 1933 too.At some point, we can discuss some cards and vintage items. I probably have something for saw or trade. I have a couple loose sets and one is an album.

I have seen two versions of this set. the backs of the both versions have identical copy and the front of card images are identical but are done in different styles (Chromograph vs illustration).

Keen to see a third version if it exists.
