Tell me about it... I would put enough spit on each one, and make sure they would each get the right amount of sun light... and BAM!!!

That's one of my favourite basketball card websites.

Who is the player featured on the card? I thought it might be Alex Groza because he was at Kentucky in 1948, but he wore number 15.

Kentucky's victory over Baylor in the NCAA final was coach Adolph Rupp's first championship.

Not sure who it is, but I think Beckett has them all listed by player name...

It looks like Beckett only lists 6 cards, but clearly from the vintage card website, there are at least 8 of them(pictures to prove)... can't really tell if two are basketball or not, but i'm sure they are for him to post them.

This is how Beckett lists the six...

Ralph Beard wore number 12. I actually think it must be one of Kentucky's lesser known players, i.e. a bench player. Here is a picture of their starting five in 1948.
