FABRICA MORAZÁN TOBACCO BASKETBALL CARDS (EL SALVADOR)
There isn’t much information on these beautiful lithograph Fabrica Morazán Tobacco cards from San Salvador. They were from an inherited collection of South American cards that were initially bought when their grandfather was stationed in South America for the military. There seems to be a couple different variations, including white bordered cards, likely released at different times. From a couple auction examples and some being graded with SGC, the set seems to feature a variety of sports, most notably a card featuring Babe Ruth (throwing a rugby ball oddly enough). It is unknown how many basketball cards are in the set, but I have seen one other not shown here. Online examples have listed the cards as issued in the 1920s or 1930s, SGC has documented them as circa 1930.
Measurements: 1.5” x 2.375”
circa 1930
