Item Description
In conjunction with a post-season visit by the AL Champion Detroit Tigers, Cabanas brand cigarettes issued this set. 35 cards are known in the set which featured three teams: Detroit Tigers, Almendares and Habana. Each team had its own specific border design/color around portrait photo image on the front with player's name and position below. Text on back references both Cuban and American players and promotes Cabanas cigarettes. Cards measure 1.5x2.25". This card is from the Almendares Scorpions subset. Cabrera played in the Cuban League from 1901 to 1920 and was inducted into the Cuban Baseball HOF in 1942. Of interesting note, he played his one and only Major League game on May 16, 1913 for the St. Louis Cardinals. He went a disappointing 0–2. However, he did make history as he became the first Spanish-born Major League player. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
