Overview
The 16-card, slightly odd-sized Bulls Police set showcases a player photo on the front within a white border along with a facsimile autograph. Beneath the photo are the player’s number, name, and vitals.
“Kiwanis Cue Cards” is printed along the top of the back in blue ink. Then there is a basketball and safety tip (in black ink) inside a blue border, followed by the logos of La Margarita Resaurantes Mexicanos, the NBA, and Azteca Tortillas. Beneath those logos are those of the Kiwanis Club. Under the border, it says the cards were “Courtesy of your local Illinois-Eastern Iowa Kiwanis Club and Police Department.”
The set can also be found with rounded or square corners making a master set 32 cards in size.
Example
Key Cards
The set is tough to complete because Reggie Theus and Coby Dietrick are considered short prints, so they are the set’s key cards.
