1923-24 Nacionales Cigarros of #35 Kakin Gonzalez in a PSA 3. This is a pop 7 card across all major grading companies.
Part of a 1,000 card issue, these cards were inserted into "Nacionales" brand
cigars. There are 10 groups of 100 cards numbered 1 to 100. Each group's numbering is
prefaced with a letter, A through J. Other topics include actors, nudes, bathing beauties, etc.
There is an album that the cards were meant to be pasted into. Baseball players are all
prefaced with the letter "C" and numbered consecutively from 21 to 60.
Printed on photographic
stock, they are similar to the Aguilitas Segundas (many of the images are the same) but with
black borders. The names and numbers are on the front of the cards in a handwritten script.
10 cards have the pictures horizontally, which seems to add to their eye appeal. The set features 2 cards of umpires and 1 card of a
mascot (possibly a batboy). Cards C-15 and C-19 also feature baseball players but they are
amateurs and not considered part of the set. It is possible the cards were distributed over more
than one year.
