Doble Aguila years and set information (1931-35 Venezuelan)

[Exhibitman]

Boxing subjects are found with black borders and numbers ranging from 66-233. These are not consecutive, so there are undoubtedly some other subjects in there. Looks like 66-78, 95-155, and 201-233(+?) are nearly all boxers.

An interesting reason why practically every Venezuelan baseball item looks like it went through a couple of tsunamis before leaving its native land:

According to that recent interview with Pat Quinn, who was directly responsible for a lot of VZ material getting into your hands, Venezuelans didn't ascribe any monetary value to cards and collectibles, yet they thought enough of the material to hang on to it. A lot of people down there lived in houses with no basements and the first floors were raised off the ground. Consequently, people would store a lot of their old collectibles and other stuff with no perceived monetary value in these spaces, leaving them prone to critters and the elements.

My one and only Doble Aguila, since I am a Cincinnati fan. Unfortunately, I don't know the players pictured.

I have something similar. 65-78, 108-150, 201-230 for boxing. Where I get thrown are the horse racing ones many of which have the same number as a baseball one. There’s also the 1934 as was mentioned before which I know are quite rare.

Some of the baseball ones reference the 1931 season. Some of the horse racing mention the 1932-33 season. But a whole lot of cards do not have a date. Also, some cards have the Doble Aguila back while others have the E Quintana but I can’t sort out how to tell the year.

This is an interesting thread. While I only have a few Doble Aguiles in my collection, this is by far my favorite since it depicts Dihigo in a Hilldale jersey.

Enjoy,

My only contribution. Adding to the other Tetelo Vargas cards.

Been keeping my eye out for a Concordia copy to pickup and I just received this one: #290 Concordia vs. Cincinnati. I was especially happy to grab it since I can't find it listed on any attempted checklist or mentioned before.

Quick question. I'm working on a project documenting cards featuring current/former/future Negro League players. I'm now looking at the 1931-32 Doble Aguila set. While some players are listed on the card fronts, others have a generic caption. But it seems that people have identified a number of these players, as a notation sometimes shows up on the SGC/PSA slab with the player's name.

Such as Martín Dihigo in:


Or Tetelo Vargas in:


Has there been any progress in identifying players on other, similar cards? Like:





Currently, I have my list of cards from this set which feature Negro League players listed at: https://negroleaguecards.blogspot.com
