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 AUTHENTIC ALTERED by PSA, with a fine portrait of Cienfuegos manager Adolfo Luque featured as the central image. A predominantly clean example with rounded corners and a few spots of staining to both front and reverse. A difficult card of the first Latin American pitcher in the history of the major leagues.
