Chad, love the 3 Toneles. I find that series of cards to be an interesting insight into the ebb and flow of Cuban society at the time. First the capitalists tried to pretend they were sympathetic (the earliest premium has "pro agrarian reform" on it), then there was a statis period as shown on your card, then as the Commies tightened the grip and killed professional sports, athletes like Fernandez fled if they could.

Adam, you’ve definitely given these cards a look or two. I had to go back and review the scans in your book after reading your post. Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts.
