Help identifying these cuban "risque" cards

[hcv123]

When are they from? How were they distributed? Common/rare? Demand? Value? Edited the image for a pg audience. Realize this is a baseball card forum, but figured someone here might be able to provide some information as I couldn't find a "non sport" area on the site. I have about a half dozen different ones. Thanks for any help and Happy New Year!

They measure about 1 5/8" x 2 3/8"

Just a hunch but.....

The seller deleted the pics but a couple of them had a similar white border (as the one in your picture) while the other cards in his lot had a black border. But, they looked alot like your card.

On a side note...........in another thread the words "chicks" and "baseball cards collectors" were mentioned together about a zillion times. I didn't believe it, but ever since then....... I've seen pics of Rita Hayworth and a scantily clad Cuban women on this forum. I'm definitely going to start talking about my baseball card collection next time I'm in South Beach.

Lovely Day...

Aguilitas was a Cuban tobacco mfg that offered a huge series of images of many different subjects. The issue size was enormous; the boxers I have catalogued for my book carry card numbers as high as 850.

Cool set. There are some neat baseball players in the set. I have a #751 Hernandez & would love to have some more. Here is a link to some info & scans for the baseball players. A very good website for info on Cuban cards.
