1923-24 Nacionales - non-baseball sets

Hi Derek,

I've collected both the baseball and non baseball subjects.

Both are hard to find. I don't remember finding a full checklist for the non baseball subjects.

Hi Rob -

Thanks for the post. I had a hard time making out who or what was being presented in the other series in the lot, but it was certainly fun going through and documenting what I have. I believe many of the other series depict scenes from movies with no attribution to the film or actors. The lot included 7 cards from series A, 7 from series B, 7 from D, 17 from E, 2 from G, 1 from H, and 3 from I.

I'll post more scans if time permits.

I have many that are strange scenes. These should have different backs and are usually smaller sized from my experience.

Actually, all of them had identical backs as the Torriente and film stars. For some reason, two of the cards in series I had the back "stamp" in the opposite direction of all the other Nacionales cards.

Here are the backs of series F:



There were three other cards in the lot that did have a different back (Aviso), but were similar in look, size, and feel as the Nacionales. See below:

Aguilitas is a different set.

The other card there is a 1930s issue after a revolution. I have a boxing card from the set. Quite rare but also obscure.

There are five Nationales boxing cards. All local Cuban fighters. I think I have some or all on my site. Link below.

Hi Adam -

Yes, I am aware that the other two are different sets altogether. I believe the last one comes from the 1933 Royal Tobacco set. I couldn't find your five Nacionales cards on your site. I found the five 1931 Quintana cards, but not the Nacionales. I'd be interested to see if they are also in series B. Do you know if there are any other boxers, or are the five a complete set of boxers (to your knowledge)?
