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 B&W photo, players 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.

Buster Ross played for the Boston Red Sox in the 1924-26 seasons. He owns the dubious MLB record of committing four errors in one game as a pitcher. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
