What's the real deal with these Cuban cards?

[CW]

I don't know why, but I am highly entertained by this thread.

[Exhibitman]

Yeah, it's kind of like one of those I Love Lucy episodes where they go to Cuba to meet Ricky's wacky family...

Plus, let's face it, we all have fantasies as collectors of finding something vintage, rare and unknown. It is part of what makes this fun.

Ryan, my husband just called Rolando in Cuba to tell him that you want you write Luis Munos, it is 9.00 a.m in Cuba. He said that he wrote you yesterday an e mail to you and Cesar Lopez. He said that as a proof that is he, he sent you an e mail from you from 2002. He said that he wrot you to an e mail tha is something like "allvacation" or other thing like that.

Adam,

Would you mind if we deal with the issue of these Romeo y Julieta cards first and then get answers to your boxing cards? I'm sure Rolando can answer your questions. I just don't want to get too far off topic.

-Ryan

[ernestohur68]

HELLO ANYBODY CAN CALL RYAN. Rolando is waiting here for him.

[Exhibitman]

OK. I will start off since Ryan is snowboarding.

What can Rolando tell me about the following card sets?

Romeo y Julieta: Below are pictures of the typical [brown borders] card, a white borders card, and a card with a graphic image of ring ropes with the fighter. Any idea why these were made differently?





Can he give me any information on this card? It is about the size of a postcard:



How about this card? Is it a genuine Cuban issue?

[Exhibitman]

These two cards showed up about 2 years ago. Anything he can tell me about this set?

[Exhibitman]

Here are some large photographic premiums. Any information on these? How many in the set? When were they issued? Who else is in the set?

[ernestohur68]

Rolando said than the are very good. One of the people in the photo of many persons is the trainging of Chocolate, PINCHO GUTIERREZ. about the SOL he said than they are very rare and want to know if it is a big card?

[ernestohur68]

He said card are originals. That he never saw before the almendares cards from 1911 and 1915 but he guaranteed that they are originals. He check the gelatin of photos and any other things. Rolando don't speak english but he talk with ryan direclty by phone and he will write you.
