Primarily known for its inclusion of a pre-rookie photo of Willie Mays this 1950-51 Acebo album actually includes a photo of each player for the four teams of the Cuban league. While Mays is certainly the key the album also features photos of Hall of Famers Ray Dandridge Billy Herman Tommy Lasorda and Hoyt Wilhelm along with many other important Cuban and Major League players like Adolfo Luque Orestes Minoso Quincy Trouppe Connie Marrero Joe Black and more. This album is quite rare and desirable with significant competition among collectors. This particular example exhibits considerable wear with foxing and paper loss on the cover and significant edge and corner wear. A rare and desirable Cuban baseball artifact.
