JoannI bid on this card as a kind of half bookmark and half whimsical thing and ended up winning it. I think it's kind of cool, but really have no good idea of what it is - only that it is from pre-Castro Cuba and that I have this growing fascination w/Cuba, Havana, would love to visit there sometime, etc.
I found a similar image but different caption on cubanball.com, but other than that have no idea where it fits. It is numbered, so it appears to have been part of a set. The auction text gives info about the local team, but not so much the card.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll branch into Cuban non-baseball images - some of the non-baseball, but pre-Castro Cuba/Havana, cards I found trying to google this thing were really neat.
Any info on this one or anything even similar, the set, etc., appreciated.
