Not being an expert on Cuban cards, but having some experience with them, I've sat back and watched this thread unfold. However, after seeing the checklist I do have some questions about the merit of this set. Let's assume they are real for a moment: it is still a mishmash of players from all different eras with no rhyme or reason as to why they were grouped together. It is reminiscent of the 1960-61 Fleer sets that commemorate players whose careers have long past. I think a distinction has to be made between fine period sets such as Billiken and Aguilitas and this concoction that honors players deceased, living, current, and retired. And that's assuming they are real. Even in the best of circumstances it does not strike me as a very significant set.
