Posted By: <b>Jim Manos</b><p>I bought a group of 7 of these and cannot ID. Frank Ward had one a few yrs ago in his uncataloged section some have 1931 in the text on the back and they are all numbered. 6 ARE 2 PLAYER CARDS. This is my only individual player card..Anyone know who he is?? Looks like he got to close to the cigar. Thank you in advance..<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1181616240.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Ryan sold one recently: <a href="http://www.cubanbaseballauctions.com/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=720&getauctionid=56" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.cubanbaseballauctions.com/bid/bidplace.asp?itemid=720&getauctionid=56</a><br /><br />Thought they were something like N561, before N was used for 19th century cards. Here's another:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1181620992.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Jim, <br /><br />The player on the right is Francisco Quevedo, an early Venezuelan catcher. It is card #37 from the 1931 E. Quintana issue from Venezuela. The card on the left shows the reverse of card #198 from the 1931 Doble Aguila issue. They are all really part of the same issue, produced by the same company. The full series runs through number 316. Cards 1-200 are from 1931. Numbers 201 and above are from 1932, although 201 to 240 are all boxing. There are several runs of boxing in the 1-200 numbers as well. <br /><br />You'll notice on the reverse of the Quevedo card it will say "E. QUINTANA & Ca." in the place where the other card says "DOBLE AGUILA, SPORT, etc. etc."<br /><br />E-mail me a list of the numbers and I'll tell you who the players are.<br /><br />-Ryan<br /><br />
