Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I bid on this card as a kind of half bookmark and half whimsical thing and ended up winning it. I think it's kind of cool, but really have no good idea of what it is - only that it is from pre-Castro Cuba and that I have this growing fascination w/Cuba, Havana, would love to visit there sometime, etc. <br /><br />I found a similar image but different caption on cubanball.com, but other than that have no idea where it fits. It is numbered, so it appears to have been part of a set. The auction text gives info about the local team, but not so much the card. <br /><br />Hmmm. Maybe I'll branch into Cuban non-baseball images - some of the non-baseball, but pre-Castro Cuba/Havana, cards I found trying to google this thing were really neat.<br /><br />Any info on this one or anything even similar, the set, etc., appreciated.<br /><br />Joann<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&item=190019628200&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&item=190019628200&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1</a>
