130 years of Cuban baseball books
 

With the recent addition of a 1930 guide I am getting closer to a complete "set" of Cuban guides, yearbooks and histories. Would love to see anything I am missing

Included below are the earlier known book (1886), a Spaulding Cuban guide salesman sample (1906), the four Esso guides, The Who's who books, the yearly guides from the 40's which have box scores for every game from 45-50, the team histories and some more modern books. All are full of negro leaguers and rare others

Cuban Collection
 

You have a beautiful collection of Cuban baseball artifacts.

I have a lot of Cuban cards in my collection, but this is the only Cuban program that I own.

In addition to Cuban HOFers and players from the Negro Leagues, it has a neat portrait of Kevin Connors (the Rifleman) in an Almendares uniform.

Best regards,

Joe

wow Wow WOW!!!

I wish I had a quarter of those for my own research.

You know how much I love your work and you only need to ask if you need some images or page scans

Oh man, that's something I will definitely take you up on!

Have you come across anyone in those books that you'd like to see given The Infinite Baseball Card Set treatment? I'm always looking for new subjects and those book probably have a million good ones in them

Have you ever done a card on Lazaro Salazar. An amazing career as both a pitcher and a slugger. Picked to manage the 1937 Trujillo team. Then in a sad but possible fitting end for a baseball lifer, he died on the field suffering an brain bleed in the dugout as he was managing

Wow! I compile the Seamheads Negro Leagues DB. Those box scores from 1945-1950 would be an amazing resource (and probably a lot of the other publications, too) .

I also picked up three of these autograph booklets (also Marianao and Almindares)
