Very interesting read - I don't think I have ever seen an open Q&A with an expert from another country here before.
I know very little about Cuban cards so let me see if I understand this: the Cuban baseball set has never been seen before, but it has the same style and appearance as a more popular boxing set from the mid 1920's. The set consists of amateur players with 1922 stats and more well known players with 1911 stats and 1915 stats, yet they all appear to be made in 1922 (and use pictures from 1910).
Is the above correct? If so, strange. I don't think it speaks for the authenticity (or lack thereof) of the issue, but more of the quirkiness of the set.
