Default acebo Cubanbn baseball cards

Whenever I see a graded Acebo Card it always has the years 1949-50.

There are 109 cards in the set. Some of the cards are blank back. The same players can have a write up on the back.

I assume all 109 are of different players and that the different backs are merely variations.

However, I have an Acebo Album which has the date 1950-51. There are 102 players pictured. I have found some of the players in this album to have a different pose (I assume from their 1949-50 card).

It seems there are 2 sets. If the first set is 1949- 50, it would seem the cards of the players pictured in the 1950-51 Album should be listed as 1950-51.

It is possible that the cards of pictures in the 1950-51 Album were issued in 1950. It would then follow that the other cards should be dated 1949.

I can post pictures of the album cover and the players of the 4 Cuban teams pictured in this 1950-51 Acebo Album.

It is likely that not all the players pictured in the Album had cards issued.

This is because Willie Mays is pictured with Almedares. I have never seen an Acebo Mays card.

If anyone can shed some light on these cards, I would be grateful.
