While related to 1923-24 Billiken and sharing the same checklist, "La Moda" tobacco singles prove rarer still! Hunting for these can take even experienced collectors much dedication and resources. The population report shows less than a dozen total graded for this whole set, and this SGC AUTH of Clint Thomas, trimmed on multiple sides, is its only known graded example. Scarcity will determine value for almost all La Moda cards!

1923-24 Billiken and La Moda cards were produced for that winter league baseball season as cigar premiums during a short, active period for Cuban card issues. They feature real player photos, leaving them somewhat more vulnerable to fading and handling damage than more conventional cardboard sets. They can retain beautiful detail and document a number of players from that era who don't appear on many cards or photos. Love of the Game is pleased to offer several cards from this set as part of our larger offering of Cuban issues.
