Card Identification Forum

I've been working on a checklist for these weird Chinese playing cards. I've them all worked out but this one. The guy selling them doesn't know who it is either. Also do we want to list them? They are multi sport with baseball, and basketball players, soccer, and many other sports. There are also multiple variations of the backs. I have two different Ozzie Smith one I can verify and I've heard there's 4 different backs.

After doing a little bit of research, I'd guess it might be South Korean Kim Joo-sung. He played in the 1980s and 1990s, wore number 16, had long hair, and apparently was a very good player (worthy of an appearance on a multi-sport trading card).

Here's a blurb from Wikipedia:

Kim Joo-sung is regarded as one of the greatest Asian footballers of the 20th century. He was nominated for IFFHS Asia's Player of the Century, finishing second place. He was nicknamed "Wild Horse" due to his pace and long mane of curly hair, for which he was also nicknamed "Samson"...

Additional evidence: South Korea flag on the jersey.

Thanks. That has got to be him. The cards are from1989, so definitely the right period.

I have Google Lens on my phone, which has a translate feature. The bottom text seems to say either South Asian Football Star or South Korean Football star, depending on how you move the phone. The side wording seems to say either "Golden Foundry" or "Golden City"...even though the words are the same it translates them differently. 

Does the google translate say what language it is? The guy has them listed as 1989 Chinese Chin All Sports. And do we want to list them on here?

Yes, it said Chinese. Although not something I would collect these would fit the criteria for inclusion.

Ya only crazy player collectors would ever really be interested in these at all. There are baseball players and basketball players of interest in the deck. I heard through the grapevine that the are 4 variations. The vendor said he's heard of a "purple back".  As I can only verify the two I have, I was planning on just doing those. I have the "STP 555" and "Boris Becker" backs. Definitely need a little help on how to format the file for upload. And how to handle variations. I'm assuming they would be multi sport odd ball. I've got the file with num, name, sport, team fields right now. Teams only filled in on the baseball and basketball player and null/blank on the rest.  The jokers are Presidents. Would their sport be politics?

Sport isn't necessary, but if you wish to include it, it goes in Note2.
