This  scarce card was issued in Canada by  the  General Mills Company of Canada.  One was inserted into each box of .   The series was issued during 1962-63.  The title of the series is “ Great moments ”  The series contains 25 different cards in total.  Each card features an illustrated image of a moment in Canadian Sports, while the back has a description  printed in both English and French.   This is card number 11 in the Series and features The 1956 Olympic Gold Medal Canadian Rowing Crew

 The card measures 3 ½ inches by 2 ¼ inches.  The card has some light corner and edge wear.  I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for  yourself.  THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE  U.S.A  or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US and UK,  print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American and British Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA. and UK ).

I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds,  Circus themes and many more.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page.
