Three extremely rare posters from the Gran Stadium in Camaguey, Cuba: 1) 1929 Kid Chocolate. Kid Chocolate is pictured prominently at bottom. The earliest Kid poster known, this is from one of his original fights before he ever made it to New York. Versus Ciriaco Jova Saguita, Kid is billed as "The Cuban Marvel." 14x22". 2) Fighters are pictured and include Kid Mario-Conguito, Joe Moe-Zurdo Charol, and Chino Villa Alegre-J. Vidal. The big fight is El Guajiro versus S. Tiberio. 12x18". 3) Siki Peligroso versus Ponce De Leon. This Cuban fighter of the 1920's was named for Battling Siki. He even looks like the Senegalese champion. "Peligroso" translates to "Dangerous." 14x22". All the posters have damage including holes and water stains. Overall they have a nice look and are so rare what else can you do?
