Billikens were designed as premiums for a brand of cigars in 1923-24, during a short, active period of Cuban card issues. A tough day for the typesetter has resulted in a mish-mash of a player name and league designation but this card features Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, the longtime hurler for the Giants and Dodgers, whose one season of Winter ball found him with Marianao. SGC Authentic with some damage to the front not affecting the image, a slight trim was undertaken at some point.  The reverse has a bit of paper loss where the card was once glued to an album page.
