Issued in Cuba in 1924 the Diaz Cigarettes issue is one of the rarest of all the 1920s black and white card sets and certainly is one of the most rare of all the tobacco issues. With fewer than 150 examples from this set having been graded by both SGC or PSA the cards feature only major league pitchers. While the card reverse refers to 136 cards being in the set the entire set has yet to be discovered or checklisted. Midgrade examples from the set are rare in fact between SGC and PSA just 11 cards have graded higher than this example of Clarence Mitchell's card. Unquestionably high-grade for the issue one of the finest examples of any card from an extremely rare and desirable set.
