Ryan might chime in because he probably has a better grasp on that than anyone else, but I have never heard anyone say that Wells was in the Doble Aguila set. There might be a set from Mexico I don't know of that he has a card from, but otherwise, you are stuck with photos. Here's mine.

His NLBM bio mentions Cuba, Mexico and Puerto Rico but not Venezuela
https://nlbemuseum.com/history/players/wells.html Wells also spent several winter seasons in Latin American leagues, primarily in Cuba, where he had a .320 lifetime average in his seven years there. He played on the 1929-1930 championship Cienfuegos team. His final two seasons on the island, playing with Almendares, are indicative of his playing ability and team value as he won the team MVP in 1938-1939 and, in his farewell season, hit .328 to lead his team to the championship, earning a spot on the All Star team and being voted the league's MVP award. With the onset of the new decade, Wells traveled to Mexico, where the master shortstop became affectionately known as "El Diablo." Records there show batting averages of .345 and .347 in 1940 and 1941, while playing with Vera Cruz, leading them to the pennant during the former season. During the ensuing winter he played his only season in Puerto Rico, batting .378 with Aquadilla.
