I vote yes; it’s a card with historical value and covers a lot of ground for a cigarette card: the intersection of sports and politics, how Hitler used ceremony and spectacle to increase his popularity and cement his hold on power relatively quickly, and it would be the last Olympics until 1948.

I briefly considered something similar when I was working on my project and a Dixie Walker popped up. Based on his history with Jackie Robinson, I wasn’t sure if I wanted him in my collection, but in the end I figured he’s a part of the set and part of the game’s history, and warranted including.
