1928 Cigarillos Crack




There were multiple series issued with Crack cigarettes. Serie A, B, C, D, E, H, J, P, R, and Z featured movie stars. Serie F, G, M, and O featured footballers. Serie X showed aviators and Serie Y showed jockeys.


Some of the cards can be found with or without "del 1 a 50" on the backs.



The footballers cards are hard to find. The icons featured in this set are Hector Scarone, Jose Nasazzi, Pedro Cea, and Mascheroni


Proof of Date

This card has often been labelled as a 1928 which is correct year. Evidence of this is the Carlos Corazzo card which has him labelled as a 21 year old. His birthday is 14th of December 1907, meaning that this set was almost certainly produced in 1928
