A Rare Kiki Cuyler Cuban Food Issue: 1930 Baguer Chocolate, BVG 5.5

I had the below on my Watch List numerous times before it finally was ended by the seller. Some time passed, an eBay coupon appeared, and I asked him if he still had it. He re-listed it and quickly took my offer. Beckett holders really don't scan well but this oddball looks great in-hand.

It serves as both my first card of Hall of Famer Kiki Cuyler and my first card from the 1930 Baguer Chocolate set. It's been slabbed a BVG 5.5 and is a most sweet addition to my vintage PC. Cuyler spent one season with the Dodgers and it was his final one in the bigs. He was an excellent offensive player and a terror on the basepaths, leading the league in steals four times. He had a great name -- "Hazen Shirley 'Kiki'" -- and is a Michigan native which I know Dennis will appreciate.

The set is a tough Cuban issue full of Hall of Fame players with a simple, one-line card back: "Chocolate BAGUER El mas popular."

Here's a better look at the front via someone else's copy found through PSA.
