Orestes "Minnie" Minoso's Hall of Fame induction spurred renewed interest in his history on baseball cards, raising the profile and popularity of his "pre-rookie" appearances in Cuban and Pacific Coast League sets. Several of those Minoso cards are offered in this Love of the Game auction, including this beautiful 1946-47 Caramelo Deportivo. This extremely condition-sensitive issue used thin stock that left cards vulnerable to all sorts of damage, often from album mounting and removal. Its CGC AUTH offers a beautiful and desirable example of this star's pre-MLB cards!
