Cuban Baseball (Card? Postcard?) Original Art
 

So I just received the two pieces I won in Ebay auctions...

Here's the descriptions on one of 'em:

THIS AUCTION IS FOR AN INCREDIBLY SCARCE, ORIGINAL ITEM THAT I AM NOT 100% SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. IT A 1950-51 WILLIAM (BILLY) HERMAN MANAGER OF THE CLUB CIENFUEGAS CUBAN BASEBALL TEAM ARTWORK AND/OR SOME SORT PREMIUM. MEASURES APPROX. 7 1/2 X 11.

They're original artwork, alright... but not sure about anything else... Does anyone have a clue?

Both backs have the same stamp on them:

I just noticed that this is probably post-war... (I almost always post in pre-war... sorry about that). Should I repost in post-war or does a mod move this... or should I just admit defeat and move along?)

Thanks... (and sorry again for the error).

I have no knowledge to add on these at all, just wanted to say I love em.

Great pick up!

John I can't help with what they are but I was watching them and thought they were really cool. Enjoy 'em!

I can't help you with ID'ing these items, but they are unique and they look to be original. Those are some great pick ups.

As far as posting in the main forum, I would think Leon would be OK with that. They are from the early 50's, card related, and interesting.

Thanks for the kind words, gang...

They're pretty cool...

I may try the other forum to see if anyone else might know something about these....

Cheers!

Yeah, those are pretty neat and it seems like they went for a pretty reasonable price. Congrats!

Did you try Ryan Christoff?
