A seldom seen release that initially was packed with boxes of Cracker Jacks in Canada, the Cracker Jack V408 British Empire ''Victoria Cross Heroes'' initially was issued at (72) subjects and then updated to (120) subjects with a second series. Depicting interesting scenes of war exploits of individuals who got the Victoria Cross medal in Canada for their bravery during war time, offered here is this near complete 1st series of the gruesome set that includes five 63 of the 72 cards in the checklist as well as five (5) duplicates and twenty (20) 2nd series cards as well. Found to be in a fairly consistent overall grade range of VG to VG-EX with some EX examples included as well, the group of 1st series specimens includes a total of sixty-eight (68) cards including duplicates of cards 38, 44, 56, 59 and 60. Of note, from that first series (set of 72) cards with creases, stains and/or with other defects and in lower grades than the average of the near complete set listed above are cards 5, 9, 10, 38, 44, 56, 59, 60 and 65 with five of these including a nicer example of the card within the group. From the second series (set of 120) there are 20 cards included with a duplicate of card 83 and all these cards are in lower grades and showcasing flaws of some sorts, with creases, edge/corner wear and stains being the most commonly observed issues. A classic offering that doesn't come up often, don't miss out on these!
