Hi Roland, what page of your book is this issue listed? Why is it call “pre”? I assume Segunda means 2nd. Is pre the 1926-27 version.

I named the Aguilitas cards that I showed Pre Aguilitas, because those cards were brought in the cigarette boxes months before the numbered series came out, as an advertisement for the collection of 900 cards on different themes that was going to be released. Notice that on the back it gives an explanation of the themes and the numbering, those pre Aguilitas are super rare, I have had few in my collection, in Volume 1 of my Specialized Catalog I put an example on one of the pages of the Aguilitas Artistic Series 1926-27, photos.

December 29, 1878, the first official game in Cuba between Havana and Almendares in the first Baseball championship, that day, December 29 in 1940, was declared "Baseball Day" from that date the exaltations were made to the HALL of Fame, I show photos of inductions at the Cerro Stadium, in one of them we see Mike González and Merito Acosta, on the day of the ceremony when they were inducted, and another from previous years.

Amazingly you may have already answered this question. The album looks different that what is in your book, so still curious about the difference.
