In recent years, the 1946-47 Propaganda Montiel "Los Reyes del Deporte" issue has finally begun to earn its due as a scarce, condition-sensitive set with some extremely important cards. Intended to be affixed to the pages of a printed album, the Cuban cards were printed on flimsy paper, almost newsprint, most containing the player image inset around a yellow or orange border. The 180-card set includes Cuban and Major League baseball stars of the era and earlier as well as boxers and wrestlers.
This example has been graded FR 1.5 by PSA, and features a fantastic image of Hall of Fame backstop Al Lopez in a catching pose. Nicely centered card has a chipped upper-left corner and does show evidence of staining across the surface with a few scattered darker spots visible. Some uneven dark spotting also appears on the reverse, perhaps indicating the card was once removed from an album.
