Default Cuban "Polar" Cards

Posted By: identify7

Well Mark, although CWYWC certainly applies here, my opinion stands. Specifically, I limit my baseball card collection to solely include cards which were distributed (any amount of distribution, above zero, qualifies).

I do not know the history of Alleghenys, Polar, and many other sets. However, I am interested in these histories. For example, more detail on "... relative of a representative of the Polar Cia. in Cuba in the late 50's. The cards were only a part from a bigger lot of Polar memorabilia ..." could clarify the origin of the cards, whether they were manufactured under contract, or other authorization ie. compensation for the card generation, or whether it was little more than my potential attempt to sell Budwiser on the merits of producing a set of cards employing photos I had taken and assembled with their logo, etc.
