Very impressed you found a larger group of someone's collection from so long ago. A very lucky task for a likely smaller collection.
Merito Acosta is a great story if you look into it, he came in as a Cuban player who spoke little English. He also had the hype that he had the skills of Cobb by local press, but never really made a dent. Oddly he was not the only Acosta on the team at the team, as they had Jose Acosta another Cuban pitcher on the roster, but I find that unlikely as he had a very short stint...however the playing time overlapped.

Thanks Justin for your response. I too think they are oddly cool !! I stopped collecting for awhile and I can’t remember where i got these. Maybe here on the BST ?
I would like to add more if anyone has some they like to part with please contact me.
