There’s a good possibility these came from Cuba instead. American baseball was very popular with the Cubans during this time-frame. Also, there is a listing for Junco Cigarros in Cuba according to a Google search. The seller certainly had quite a few Cuban cards available for sale as well. But Puerto Rico is just as good a guess.
I’m hoping a few other stud players turn up. Would love to find a Johnny Mize or Dizzy Dean.
Also, I think you could call these a 1936 issue. Burgess Whitehead played for the Cardinals in 1935 and the Giants in 1936. His Junco card shows Giants.
