Overview

For the second time, Kahn’s released a basketball set; packaged with their hot dogs. This time 10, instead of 11 Cincinnati Royals players were included.

The cards still featured black-and-white player photos on the front along with a facsimile autograph and Kahn’s slogan along the bottom.

But this time, the backs featured a thought from the player about their “greatest thrill in basketball.” The set’s cards remained unnumbered.
