Thought I would toss this shot in of the only uncut sheet I have ever seen as I find the layout and subject mix interesting. Hakes had this back in 2013.
"18.5x24.5" thin paper sheet has a total of 58 cards. This "Sporting Kings" set is a Cuban caramel company issue. 180 paper picture cards in the set covering various sports but with the primary focus on baseball and boxing. A corresponding album was issued. Each card is about 2-1/8x3-1/8". Card fronts feature bw photos, text backs w/set name and athlete bio. Many key cards are featured on this sheet. Baseball players include: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Joe Dimaggio, Ty Cobb. Boxers include: Jack Johnson, James Jeffries, Jack Dempsey, John Sullivan, James Corbett, Max Schmeling. All of these cards appear numerically random on the sheet and run between numbers 1 and 99. These include - Armando Valdes, Manuel (Chino) Hidalgo, Alberto Matos, Fernando Rodriguez, Humberto Baez, Jose Cendan, Orlando (Tango) Saurez, Francisco Gallardo, Oscar Rodriquez, Octavio Rubert, Orlando Moreno, Antonio Lorenzo, Pedro Dunabeitia, Agustin Del Toro, Rafael Rivas, Hector Arago, Jose Traspuesto, Agustin Delaville, Mario Diaz, Valeriano Fano, Bob Feller and Paul M. Derringer. There are also 20 consecutively numbered cards for Havana Cubans players and these are 103-121. These include - #1 John L. Sullivan, #3 Bob Fitzsimmons, #11 Jack Sharkey, #12 Primo Canera, #7 Jess Willard, #8 Jack Dempsey, #4 James J. Jeffries, #26 Juan Oliva, #13 Max Baer, #53 Armandito Puente Pi, #93 Well Stewart, #97 :El Angel" Maurice Tillet, #6 Jack Johnson, #58 Joe DiMaggio, #20 Billy Conn, #33 Joe Legon, #2 James J. Corbett, #14 James J. Braddock, #36 Kid Chocolate Eligio Sardifias, #19 Johnny Dundee (Joseph Carrora), #21 Holman Williams, #91 Mr. Zoko Godoy, #96 Rose Evans, #99 Helen Wills, #42 Ty Cobb, #46 Dom DiMaggio, #44 Ted Williams, #37 Henry Armstrong, #22 Kid Tunero (Evelio Mustelier), #9 Gene Tunney, #56 Bill Dickey, #41 Babe Ruth, #57 Columbia Lou Gehrig, #49 Richard Sisler, #10 Max Schmeling, #32 Louis Frank Klein. Uneven margin on right and bottom edges where cut from a larger sheet but other two margins are as printed. Moderate all over handling wear w/small margin tears and some scattered lt. creases. Several faint fold lines. Overall sheet remains clean and all images are bold and distinct. Overall VG/Fine. A Cuban card rarity and a wonderful piece to frame. This is the first uncut sheet of its kind that we have ever offered and it is our belief that it could very well be the only one in existence. From the Cesar S. Lopez collection, creator of www.cubanball.com."
