Max WederFurther to Ryan's post about American cards for Cuban players in the 40s and 50s, here's a scan of the front and back of a Cuban card of Monte Irvin. It's a blow-up of the front of the card. I don't have the card, and Monte signed the copy as part of a fund-raiser for Conrado (Connie) Marrero, who is alive and well at 94 and living in Cuba but on a very meagre government pension, with no ability to receive assistance from such organizations such as BAT. Marrero was also three months short of receiving a major league pension (which would be moot even with sufficient service, because he wouldn't be able to receive it in Cuba)
I don't know anything more about the card set other than Marrero also has a card in it.
