Chess Player Cards Magnus, Fischer

I've collected chess player cards (not chess themed cards) for years and have been sharing my cards and knowledge of my little niche in the hobby. People usually want a Magnus Carlsen or Bobby Fischer card but there is a lot more out there. I built a catalogue to help collector's figure things out.

Here's what seems to be Kasparov's rookie. 1983-1987 Pliva.

Was Piva a chess set?

I would call it more of a general interest set. There’s sports stars, Maradona being the biggest I think, music cards, Star Wars cards, etc. as far as I know, Kasparov is the only chess player in the set

Kasparov has another 1987. Its a double sticker one half is Kasparov the other Karpov. One of my favorite's and really tough to find.
