Item Description
2x2-5/8" Cuban card issued as a premium by Billiken brand cigars. Cards in this set feature players from the 1923-24 Cuban Professional League. The set includes 15 cards each for the four teams that participated that season: Almendares, Habana, Marianao, and Santa Clara. Glossy front features a bw photo, player's name and team. The back of the card has an ad for "Billiken." Cards in this elusive set are among the scarcest and most popular of the pre-war Cuban issues.

Don Brown played a full season in the Cuban Winter League for Marianao and Habana with a stat line of .261/.319/.635. He also played for several minor league teams during his career in the United States, but never made it above AA. This card is graded 50 VG/EX 4 and is designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
