"The World of Sports Stamp Collection" is a series of 108 cards showing 1 stamp and a picture of the sport on the front of the card and on the reverse side a paragraph about the sport in English and French. This particular card is a little bit of an oddity in that the stamp chosen to represent ice hockey really was issued to publicize the sport of bandy.
