WTB: Pre-war basketball cards
Looking to buy any pre-war basketball cards. Anything from 1891 to 1939. US or international.
Even if not for sale, it would be great to see what everyone has. Here are a few I already have. Last edited by Mikan99; 01-11-2024 at 09:26 PM. |

I did not realize they played outside 90 years ago. That's neat to see.

Coming up to 133 years of basketball since James Naismith invented the game.
- Dec 1891: First game - 1892: First public game - 1893: First college game - 1896: First professional game For me, the first basketball card is the 1903 Tetlow College Girl. |

Hey Drew, I came across this eBay seller “Felix Street Postcards” who has several pre-war basketball real photo postcards for sale at auction and BIN. May be worth your time if you haven’t yet seen what the seller has! Best of luck with your endeavors!

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. Last edited by Mikan99; 01-22-2024 at 01:23 PM. |

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. Quote:

Nice collection! I just joined net54 after seeing that there are other early Basketball collector's on here. It's nice to know I'm not alone. If anyone has the Tetlow or Hamilton Girl's cards they're willing to part with, I'm very interested.
