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 FR 1.5 by SGC this scarce example depicts Giants ace Christy Mathewson in an iconic pose from baseball's greatest photographer, Charles Martin Conlon. Card remains extremely attractive for the grade despite a miscut. A dark stain appears in the upper-left corner and the lower right corner has partially torn away. Reverse remains largely clean of blemishes overall, unlike many cards from this issue that suffer from paper loss due to removal from albums they were once pasted into.
