I'm still not following how we know for sure that whatever printing method was used in Cuba isn't still available today. Unlike issues from the USA during the same period, it's very much within the relm of possibility that there is a printing press in Cuba using the original means to produce new product which would be of the same quality as the original - and for all intents and purposes, still original as a secondary printing. In that case, it wouldn't mean cutting or reprinting the yearbooks even if they are the original source of the cards. There are cases of this being done with enamel advertising signs - the printing is all original, just not vintage.

You're right though, the seller hasn't sold any duplicates, and appears to be breaking up one collection - which makes me think these are real. This could be a Rip Van Winkle situation.
