Lot of 128. Each is 1.5x2-3/8". Presented here is an rare opportunity to pick up an extensive group of 1920s era soccer players, including a good mix of amateurs and professionals from around the world, from the extremely scarce 1926-27 Aguilitas Cuban tobacco card set. With a grand total of 900 trading cards produced, this issue was a massive undertaking for the day and included not only athletes from baseball, boxing and soccer but also hundreds of movie stars and other prominent celebrities from around the world. Cards were inserted into packs of Aguilitas cigarettes and were printed in black and white on glossy stock. On front is a large square portrait or action pose with "Foot-Ball" and the player's name printed below. Like most Latin American card issues, these cards were issued with an accompanying album, thus accounting for the all too common back damage that often plagues the condition of these rarities. Card fronts typically present much nicer than the technical grade, oftentimes displaying an EX appearance. Average condition of these cards varies from Poor to VG-EX with most being in the Fair/Good range. Lot sold as is. Richard Merkin Collection.
