1926 Piccardo & Cia - Cigarillos "Plus Ultra" (Serie C)

 

Background




These cards were included in packages of Plus Extra cigarettes in Argentina. This set was printed and distributed in 1926 and was done in different series. Series C was for football which will be covered in this post.


This set features a stunning design and photography. The iconic cards in this set are the Luis Monti and Raimundo Orsi rookies. This can be considered one of the premiere sets in pre-war football and relative to Dolar cards, is significantly rarer.


There is minimal information on this set. If you known of any other cards please comment below. There are some cards that have now been graded by PSA and SGC shown below along with the person who owns or provided the scans.
