Baseball trip to Cuba

[Bill Stone]

With all the opportunities now to travel to Cuba I am curious if anyone has gone or contemplated going in search of baseball cards or at least with that as a secondary reason for traveling there ?

Was the embargo ever actually lifted? I've heard talk of doing so, but I don't remember specifically hearing that.

Bill- I don't think there are too many baseball cards left. They've been picked clean.

Why do you say this? My guess would be the opposite.

I know several people who have made multiple trips there and brought back as many baseball cards as they could find. And this has been going on for many years. Not saying there aren't some left, but most are already in slabs by now.

Well that makes sense now. I still think that a a few guys going down to cuba looking for cards... They couldn't have found them all. If they knew people down there, maybe most have been found. If they just went looking, there has to be many more.
