Thanks for that. I wasn't sure of the year. As I recall, there are a number of different sports in the series? I think I had a full run at some point.

Now I will look for the complete series and an envelope of the 1st day of issue, I found you others of this theme, you will see them after you see what is now.

Ray, you tell me that the postcard is false, as you say you gain in experience, it has happened to all of us at some point in the beginning, I am not a specialist in baseball from Mexico, if you need help in some of Cuban baseball, you let me know,

I've really enjoyed this thread. Thank you Rolando. Your Ted Williams pic reminded me of this souvenir photo I have of the 1931 Dodgers in Sloppy Joe's Bar.

Justin, excellent photo from 1931, I had never seen it, Sloppy Joe, for many years it was visited by famous players, since McGraw saw him for the first time in 1911, and the owner of the place, the Spanish José Abeal, and MacGraw became good friends, but José always got his long-sleeved shirt dirty and I called him dirty Joe, and he also called him muddy Joe, and Jose decided to name the restaurant that, McGraw every year came to Cuba with his wife and visited the place. The Sloppy Joe was closed for several decades, but a few years ago they did a great renovation including the giant bar of the bar and it was wonderful, about 4 or 5 years ago I was visiting the place and I felt good remembering the anecdotes of that place.

The collection of the 1928 Billiken and La Moda cigars with the Cincinnati players is very rare, now I show you a small part of the photo used for one of the cards of that collection, the ad is shown in the rubber stamp stamped in the photo original file. The player is Zittman.

Yesterday I showed part of a photo that was used to print the 1928 Billiken cards, now you will see one of the sheets of my catalog where this collection appears, below a propaganda photo of the series that measures 8x10 inches, I ask those who see this Thread that they publish the cards they have from this rare collection, I would appreciate it if you would.
