Excerpt
There are 48 cards in the 1933 Sport Kings set, but only three of them feature baseball players. As a showcase of athletes from several different arenas, there are 18 different sports represented in the set. Many of the athletes included are legends, so the issue has remained quite popular over the years. The first individual cards of basketball players are featured, as well as a father/son combo and a woman athlete.
Rookies
There are no rookies in this set.
