Specs
Year: 1961
Title: Kahn’s Wieners
Size: 3 3/16″ x 4 1/16″
Number in Set: 13
Overview
Unlike the 1957, 1958, 1959, or 1960 Kahn’s basketball sets, the 1961 release was the first to include the Cincinnati Royal’s coach, Charley Wolf. Kahn’s included Jerry West again as well.
Like previous releases, the fronts have black and white player photos, a facsimile autograph, and Kahn’s Slogan “The Wiener the World Awaited.”
The backs are unnumbered, but this year, rather than including a biography or any statistics, they are blank.
One card was issued with each package of Kahn’s meats.
Examples
Key Cards
Like the previous year’s set, the set’s two key cards are Oscar Robertson and Jerry West, though they are about half the price of the 1960 Kahn’s cards.
