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."
