Nice card, and 1923 was sure a stellar year for Luque. It does make sense that he made the cut to be featured in the relatively small (50 card) V89 set in 1924, considering that in 1922, with the understanding how pitchers were statistically evaluated at that time, he had a very rough year with a record of 13 wins and 23 losses, and in my estimation would most likely not have been considered for inclusion if these cards had instead been issued in 1923.
