PICCARDO y CIA LDA CIGARRILLOS PLUS ULTRA BASKETBALL CARDS (ARGENTINA)
Piccardo & Cia Lda was a tobacco company in Argentina that distributed these cards in their "Plus Ultra" cigarette packs. The set was built up of series that featured athletes and celebrities. The total amount of cards in each series and set is unknown but an estimate of the series size is based off a presumed 285 cards in the series C set. The only basketball I've seen examples of (including mine) are from series E. These are very rare, so there is no complete checklist to confirm exactly how many cards there are, it is assumed that all of the series amount to a combined set of over 2,000 cards.
