Those are extremely cool!

Emilio Palmero, Colección "Aguilitas" in 1920 struck out Babe Ruth when he played with Almendares in Cuba.

Magazine "Sensacion" on the cover Heberto Blanco, within those magazines came the images of the collection of the "Album Cuban Stars and Major League Stars Sensation"

Magazine Almanaque Deportivo 1949, Monte Irvin, Crespo, Thompson, etc.

And Dave Barnhill!!

Dave Barnhill, Ortopedia Diaz card. Rare

Ortopedia Diaz, L. Pearson card 1949

Never even saw or heard of Ortopedia Diaz cards before! What is their history?

The collection of "Ortopedia Díaz" 1949 cards is not common, they are rare, very few collectors have any, in my Specialized Catalog I detail them together with the well-known and little-known ones, now I show the Album cover, and the Raymond Dandridge card.

That's a really cool card of the Rifleman. Never seen it before!!

Great card!

Would anyone have a feel for age and value of this Almendares pinback?

Jim, the pin you show is from the late 40s, I show you some of my collection

Amazing! Any idea what this pin may be valued at?

1949 Acebo Premiums
 

Roland,

You had earlier posted a picture of an 1949 Acebo Premium with the following comment

Now I am sending you from the Newton Estape 1949 collection the # 59 of Quincy Trouppe, it appears in Volume 2 of my Cuban printed catalogs, I have several things that I will send you later, when you see the photo you will let us know, this collection is of 111 photos measure 8 x 10 inches.

I was curious how these Premiums were distributed if the smaller cards were distributed in boxes of matches. How did one get a beautiful 8 x 10 photo?

Scott
 

Newton Stape was a photography company, and they photographed the players of the professional teams. I think these 8x10 photos were given to clients who visited the studio to have their photographs taken. In the case of the Acebo Matches, I think they paid Newton Stape for the rights to print that collection for your matchboxes.

Thank you for the response, Rolando.

Quick question though: These premiums are numbered out of 111 (the Trouppe card for instance is #59). You don’t think that in 1949-50, Acebo had an offer whereby customers could redeem a certain number of coupons, matchbooks, or cards in order to receive one of the 8x10 photo premiums from either Acebo or Newton Estape?

Quicker follow-up: should these premiums be regarded then as baseball card premiums or merely baseball photos?

Scott
 

Maybe so, but I am not aware of that, I have not found anything written about it, if in the future I read something that is related I will let you know.

Any opinions regarding which of these is correct? Nig Clarke was a catcher; Danny Clark was not. Wikipedia has the image used to make this card as Danny Clark's picture.

I would think it is Nig Clarke. BR lists Nig Clarke as having caught and pinch-hit for Habana in the Cuban Winter League in the 1923-24 season, but does not list Danny Clark as having ever played in the Cuban Winter League.

Roland: On the "Danny Clarck" card, are you saying you think that is actually Danny Clark's image, or is it Nig Clarke's image?

I don't have photos of Danny Clark or Jay or Nig Clarke, what I know is that Clark always appears in different statistics, maybe you have photos of the two and you can make the comparison and know which of the two is the one that played that year, then Let me know, greetings.

I am not sure the bald guy on the end is happy to be there. Reminds me of me sometimes. I often feel like he looks.

Leon
 

In this photo the 4 managers are seen from another angle, the first on the left is José María Fernández (Havana), a player in the Negro Leagues, he was also the winning manager in 1947 in the Negro Leagues with the New York Cubans, in this photo how he has cap does not look bald and is not so serious, greetings Leon.
