This is a multi-backed series and this card can be found with six different back designs. The set was also reprinted in 1998 and these are easily distinguished from the originals as they have reference to the fact printed on the bottom of the backs of the cards. Some of the so-called sports are frowned upon today, whilst others have so far failed to get Olympic recognition.
