The images and info for this set have been shared with us from the collection of Retro Baloncesto. These cards have images meant to be used with a stereo viewer, which was included in the accompanying album. The cards feature different sports from the 1936 Olympics, one of which was a basketball card, #54, which features a scene from the Poland vs. Mexico game which they were playing for the bronze medal. The cards came in a numbered set of 100 and the photographs were taken by Heinrich Hoffmann, the official photographer of the Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Hoffman was arrested by the United States army in 1945 and was sentenced to prison for war profiteering.
