Brad's dated document confirms my belief, and goes right along with a multi-sport set---mostly baseball, with a football and a pair of basketball stars.

This makes some of the seemingly random stuff uploaded here so important to the community at large.

I benefited greatly from a mystery I was trying to figure out about 1930 Baguer Chocolate cards for a very long time by one of Rolando Sánchez's (Roland 49) various Cuban card posts. It was the first actually legible digital photo of a rare collector's album that I could read the name/checklist properly. It helped me make a decently strong ID of the mis-identified player in question.
