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 POOR 1 by PSA, with an image of ballplayer Rudy York following through in the central image. A highly attractive card despite the grade, it remains miscut and favors the lower-right corner. Despite this, card remains surprisingly clean for the issue with just two spots of darker staining appearing above York's bat. Dark staining appears around the edges on reverse, indicating this card was likely removed from an album it was once pasted into.
