In 1910, the Punch Cigar Factory donated a collection of cards featuring players from the Habana and Almendares teams, as well as from the visiting Major League teams. Two printings of cards were made; the first with the names printed in handwritten letters, and the second in block letters. The rarest is the handwritten one, as few copies were made, waiting for block printing to be organized. I am showing from my Specialized Catalog part of one of the pages of Punch Cigars, where you can see pitcher Chicho González with the card printed in handwritten letters and next to it in block letters. I am showing one of the handwritten cards from my collection. Now I ask those who see my publications, what could this card be worth? I don't know the prices since I can't watch the auctions and neither can eBay at the moment. I would appreciate it if you could inform me.
