The T175 Sweet Caporal Cigarettes Heroes of the Spanish-American War set is a (50) card set of cards featuring people involved with the Spanish-American War. The War kicked off with the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898. The war lasted from April 21 through August 13th. The set was issued on the inner slides of the tobacco packs and each inner slide had two different cards. The cards were cut from the packaging and are often found in lower condition. The grading companies will grade them but are notoriously difficult on grading.
This complete set of (50) cards from the T175 Sweet Caporal Heroes of the Spanish-American War are in Good to EX condition, averaging VG/VGEX. This is one of the cleaner copies of this set we have had to offer, most cards being well trimmed from the original boxes.
