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.

Graded POOR 1 by PSA, this example features Yankees Hall of Famer Red Ruffing in a pitching pose. Several condition-related issues contribute to the grade, including light creasing, frayed edges and rounded corners. Centering favors the right side but the card remains very clean overall compared to others from the set we've handled.
