They have asked me to show more of Eustaquio (Bombin) Pedroso, you will see a caricature of the great Rivadulla, I met him decades ago and I went to his house and he showed me many of his original works, including this one of Pedroso with his famous Bombin on his head, and you will see photos

Can you tell us about the artist? Was he mostly known for baseball images like this?

Eladio Rivadulla Martínez was a prolific commercial artist in Cuba during mid 20th century. Along with his baseball portraits he worked on political adds and movie posters. I love his baseball work most. Here are some more samples. To learn more and to see his art work I recommend you visit: https://www.facebook.com/ArchivoRivadulla/

Thank you. Picked this up today as I saw a Dihigo sell a last week. Goes with my Mendez collection. Must have been in a newspaper.

In 1910, the Punch Cigar Factory donated a collection of cards featuring players from the Habana and Almendares teams, as well as from the visiting Major League teams. Two printings of cards were made; the first with the names printed in handwritten letters, and the second in block letters. The rarest is the handwritten one, as few copies were made, waiting for block printing to be organized. I am showing from my Specialized Catalog part of one of the pages of Punch Cigars, where you can see pitcher Chicho González with the card printed in handwritten letters and next to it in block letters. I am showing one of the handwritten cards from my collection. Now I ask those who see my publications, what could this card be worth? I don't know the prices since I can't watch the auctions and neither can eBay at the moment. I would appreciate it if you could inform me.

I pay attention to most auctions looking for Cuban/Negro related items and I am aware of a few Punch cards that may have been auctioned the last few years.

Pop Lloyd $125k+ Nov 2023
Pete Hill $90k+ April 2024
Ramon Carreras sold in a lot with some other cards in March 2024 $3.5k
