Both teams folded around 1930 but owner Alex Pompez created a new Cuban team called The New York Cubans in 1935. The team was composed of Cuban players as well as players from other nationalities including the United States. Top two corners have small missing pieces, scattered handling wear w/lt. creases mostly only visible in reflected light. Photo image remains clean, glossy and sharp. VG.
