Card Details Below:  
Year(s): 1909
ACC Set Designation: -
Set Name: Cabanas
Country: Cuba
Description: In conjunction with a post-season visit by the A.L. Champion Detroit Tigers (who without Hall of Famer Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford won only four of twelve games from the locals), Cabanas brand cigarettes issued this set. About 1-1/2" X 2-1/4" the cards feature black-and-white portrait photos. Players from the Almendares team have a blue frame and some colorized blue details on their uniforms. Havana players are in red, the Tigers are in gray. Printed on backs of the cards is (roughly translated): "The best way to form a valuable collection of baseball players of the Cuban clubs and the foreign visitors is to smoke Cabanas."
