I would like to have catalogue number and price for these.
They are illegal in the USA and will not be in Scott catalogue.

Thanks,

Scott has been listing post-embargo Cuban stamps for ages. My old 1990s paperbacks listed Cuban
stamps without valuing them. But they have recently started assigning values as well.

Here's the blurb from the catalog, just after #702 (January 1962 issue):

"Cuban goods have been embargoed bu the United States since a Feb. 7, 1962 proclamation by
President Kennedy, but according to the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Treasury Department,
used Cuban stamps can be imported and sold without limitation, and unused stamps may be imported for
personal use, but not resold."

Which means you can buy Cuban mint sets as long as you don't plan to resell them.

Scott values your set at $20.00 mint, $10.00 used. They are Scott #4540-43.
The souvenir sheet of 4, #4543a, is also valued at $20.00.
