There was a lot of controversy several months (maybe a year) ago about whether these were genuine vintage Cuban cards are forgeries. The offered cards were mostly lesser players, plus I think Hoyt Wilhelm and Monte Irvin. Ryan said forgeries, and predicted we would eventually see cards like Mays, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, etc. Mays and Robinson are now on ebay, along withe Amos Rusie. As far as I know, Rusie had no connection to Cuba, and even the most serious Cuban baseball fan in the 1950s probably never heard of Rusie.
