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 SGC 1 PR example of former heavyweight champion Jack Sharkey remains off-center towards the right edge with an obvious crease in the bottom third. Some degree of staining is present throughout, and evidence that the card was once removed from an album appears in the form of paper loss towards the bottom on reverse. A desirable card from this difficult issue featuring the former American pugilist.
