The first time I ever knew this set existed was when I placed a bid for the card you see on eBay a few weeks ago.
The first time I ever saw one of these cards in person was just the other day when it arrived in the mail.
I'm not sure why but this paper-thin card has several tiny holes. It's like someone took a small hole punch to them. Usually I would think that there may have been some sort of premium involved. With some old issues, cards were collected and sent in to the manufacturer to get a premium sent back. Often times the cards were sent back to the owner with holes so that they could not be redeemed a second time.
But when searching the Internet, I could not find any other examples with holes.
You know what? I could care less.
It's not every day you get a Cuban baseball card from the mid-40s in the mail.
